People broke into the forest, wearing jackets and boots and carrying a backpack of weapons.

They aim clearly, look around, and advance cautiously. Their tracks are left in the damp mud.

Nothing.

The monster with the textured hair, pale toenails and protruding spine was speculated to be hiding deeper in the forest.

Only the children playing in the house knew that it was not a monster and that it was not there.
