Dead Man

January 5, 2010

Hello. My name is Alexis, and I will be writing in this diary. I have just moved to Ocracoke, North Carolina, in hopes of starting a new life. It seems like a really nice place. Because I have spent all day today unpacking, I plan to explore a little bit tomorrow.

Something strange happened yesterday, something I can't quite explain. Well, I went exploring, and I found a clearing in the woods. I was an old graveyard. Some of the tombstones were dated as far back as 1700! Well, as I was looking around at some of them, I noticed something. A tombstone at the very edge of the clearing, far away from theothers. Upon further inspection, it was completely blank. I mean, not like old age had taken its toll on it, making it impossible to read, more like nothing had ever been written on it at all, like it was just there so that someone wouldn't forget where it was. It looked like some candles had been placed on the grave at one point, but not recently. Well, I turned to leave, and... I saw someone,or something, standing at the edge of the woods. It looked like a person, but, something was... wrong. From a distance, I didn't get a very good look at it, but just looking at it somehow made me feel sick to my stomache.
