Fear
in Garden Festival ... MOTHMAN and FUNKADELIC CHICKEN.
The affray moved around the temples. I remembered
my camera and quickly brought to my eye level and
started to take photographs. I thought ‘No one
will believe this!’ The fracas went on for at
least ten minutes and then they noticed me. The two
forgot about the other and launched in my direction.
I turned quickly, stumbling and ran for dear life,
trying to remember route. I got to the opening in
the fence and squeezed through catching myself once
again on the wire, but this time it cut my arm. I
did not stop though and continued to run, not waiting
to see if the lights had changed and a car stopping
abruptly. I halted, but for brief moment, and my eyes
met an angry driver cursing me with his fist shaking
in the air. I ran again and did not stop until through
the woodland area, past St Michaels and on the main
thoroughfare of Aigburth Road. Passers-by looked at
me awkward and moved in avoidance at my dishevelled
state. I straighten my hair and brushed down my clothes
to compose myself.
I immediately made my way home and downloaded the
images from the camera and here I present my finding
of the days encounter. From talking to other people
who have experienced similar, I believe the creatures
in these photographs are known as Mothman and the
Funkadelic Chicken. I can but only assume the fight
I witnessed was one of territory. I will not be returning
there again. Well, at least not on my own. |
