Bigfoot

Fastwrite for February 25, 2009. Write about bigfoot.

Is bigfoot real? If this big man with a lot of hair is, is there proof of existence? If not, why the myth? I believe there is that sort of hairy monster out there somewhere deep in isolated woods. Here is the story I made up:

The woods are dark and you are somewhere in Anchorage. You are all alone because you decided to take a little night stroll. Your somewhere in the middle of your walk. In one hand, you have a flashlight and in the other a ciggarette. Everything is going fine, your getting your little bit of exercise and you have time to think to yourself. As you are in deep thought, you get distracted by what sounds like footsteps, some branches on the ground cracking, and leaves are rumbling. You flash your flashlight around you, and I mean everywhere surrounding you. Yet, there is nothing. So, you decide to keep walking and forget about whatever the noise was coming from. As soon as you start to forget, you hear the strange noise again, this time you get a little paranoid. You get the feeling someone is watching you and is following you. The noise starts to get louder, closer, and the noise feels as though it's getting closer.
And that's how far I got.
So, do you think there is such a thing as bigfoot? If so, what's your story?
