An excellent entry for the This Sentence Starts The Story contest. This was like a fun campfire story that we told when camping to scare each other. The fact that Bigfoot was only harvesting fruits and smiled before leaving was comforting lol Thanks for sharing

I wanna be a cowboy, wearing my Tecovas, I mean Nacona boots, and Stetson, Don Blocker, hat pulled down and flipping the tops of my elephant ears out. Sorry I've been practically out of commission for weeks. Hope all is well in your world. Thanks for sharing.

    Well other than an unknown source of 24/7 headaches since December I am clam- bake happy
    I have seen my Go, an ENT, an Optician, chiropractor, a neurologist and two MRI's and no one has a clue
    On a scale of 10 the pain is between. 2-6 always never severe, never gone increases if I bend over , sneeze or cough
    Any guesses?
    Thanks for your review
    And really happy to hear from my best FS pal
    🥸😇

    Thanks. That was the intent, along with remaining active. I had a faith based one written but the contest intended got away before my post. Still, Easter is closing in and I suspect it will be given a resurrectection before the 20th.

Hello again Tom,
Fun read. You have all your cowboy lingo down...boots, hats, guns. I'll assume you're a cowboy! Either that or you did your research well.
One question though: you can still sit cross-legged? LOL.
Great job, Neil

    Absolutely not! And if I could, I would not, could not get up. Thank for the read.

Your story is so enjoyable from the start! The mystery of the sound in the dark really pulls me in. The twist with Sasquatch is fantastic! I didn't expect it. And the way you describe the creature blending into the night was great. Good luck in the contest.

That was a great read, suspenseful and descriptive, a bit scary. I loved the ending. It sounds like Sasquatch was a friendly creature only interested in gathering food. That is a great entry for the contest, and I wish you the best of luck! Evi

    By the time the vote is in December, I will have forgotten what it was that I wrote. Why do they extend contests for millennials????

Far away end date seems silly considering the limited participation count.
My steed, Flicker, nickered. - Nicker there, Flicker, you cotton-picker.
...letting my scotopic or night vision - Do light-dousers even have scotopic vision?
Good luck in the contest.
