Ghosts in the Woods

[forsyth]

I've seen some weird things in the forest. Not creepy weird, just the kind of slightly off-kilter things that make me suspect I've wandered into somebody more interesting's imagination. There's a chain hanging from one of the trees, one of the kind they used to have on trains as the emergency stop. It's just hanging there, rusted over, waiting to be pulled. Maybe it would stop the world. And then there was the truck that disappeared. It was by the side of the road, then I looked again and it was gone when I briefly looked away. True story.
