Prompt #9: Write your own urban myth to explain a mysterious phenomena, establish a legend, or just plain scare your reader.

Well, it happened one afternoon. I was in my study reading and sometime caught my eye. Hard to explain but it seem as if something passed by me but I could not tell what that something was. I just felt it; light the fast swish of movement. I decided to dismiss the whole think. After all I was reading a mystery so maybe my imagination was getting the best of me.

You see, I am your neighbor, Freddy Jones, from down the street and I was experimenting in my basement and I ended up spilling my potion on myself and before I knew it I started strinking. He I am!"
