Appearances are decieving...

I work full time nights now. Crazy thought, just started last night.

Somewhere around midnight there's a moving truck that pulls in. It begins to fuel up.

I look out the window and see a man standing by one of our property's pine trees. Bear in mind that between our store and the road there are only three of these pine trees. They are very spaced out.

I do a double take. The man is standing directly in front of the pine tree, as if to shield himself from the road. His arms are pointed down in front of him as if he is holding something.

My jaw drops to the ground. Am I actually seeing what I think I'm seeing? There's only one pine tree there! This can't be happening. Can I even do anything about this? What do I say if he comes in?

I look away for a moment to keep myself from staring and look back 10 seconds later. That's when I see it.

A small dog comes out from under the tree. The man turns, and he was holding the leash in front of him. His other hand is in his pocket.

I start laughing. At the same time I am very "relieved" that I didn't see what I thought I saw...

Next shift is tonight.
