Blackdart, Part 2

Blackdart

It pulled at the doorknob, attempting to open my door! Finding it locked, it moved, impossibly fast, to the other side of my SUV. Again, it tried to open my door. Again, it found nothing but a locked door. It threw its head back and gave an angry roar.

I pulled my vehicle into "drive" and sped away. I didn't dare to look in my rearview mirror - I just wanted to get away as quickly as possible. I'd never seen or heard of an animal like I had just witnessed. It certainly wasn't a normal creature. It knew how to open a car door!

Later I told my tale to an uncle who has had similar experiences. He nodded and smiled. "You're just the latest person to see one of those things," he said. "They call it Black Dart, or Blackdart, because of its speed. It seems to be able to move around cars very fast. It's black, and it moves as fast as a dart. So they call it Blackdart."

I haven't been on Road 31 since that time. Blackdart can have that stretch of highway. I'll never travel that way again, and I must say that I'm very glad that Blackdart only knows how to open doors. It could've easily broke my window and dragged me out of the car. At any rate, he'll never have that opportunity again - at least not with me.
