Bizarre Encounters: The Unexplained Garden Incident

I was parked in the Garden Supplies at the Cleburne, Texas Walmart, listening to Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM. 

The parking lot light in the middle of the garden supply area was dead, and the only thing I could do to watch over the area was to park in it. 

This was as dull, and mundane, and mind numbing as it can get.

What happened next could be the real deal, or it could be the active imagination of the sleep deprived night watchman. I’ll leave those speculation to you, and other critics.

As Art’s was on a commercial break, and KLIF (570 AM, Dallas, TX) was running a PSA to fill a dead spot in the programming, I caught a black rip in space out of the corner of my eye. That is the only way I can describe it. Of course, I had to get a better look.

I shifted my focus so I watch this phenomenon. It is a challenge to describe this thing. In front, and around the opening nothing was disturbed. There was no wind, no noticeable effect, nothing.

In the hole was the blackness of space with a field of stars showing in the far background. There was something else.

At the lip of the rip was a creature which would best be described as a bipedal lizard, very muscular, with long prehensile tail, and a set of leathery wings on the back. 

It was being pulled into the blackness. It was not from our universe, and it was being pulled back into its own. The creature is best described in the Science Fiction by Arthur C Clark, Childhood’s End. It would not be amiss to describe this thing as a classic devil, or demon.

Obviously unwilling to be pulled into the rip, he was struggling. I caught some of it though. It slipped into the blackness as a bird being caught in a net.

Once it was gone, the rip sealed, and there was again nothing there. There are parts of this story that I understand, but I am hard pressed to explain. When this event concluded, I knew that I knew what was out there, and I knew that I knew nothing.

Gotta love Walmart!
