[01:25.78]I was in the front passenger-side seat
[01:28.24]and Eric and Forest were in the back seat.
[01:31.90]Marc and I were just watching the road ahead of us
[01:35.27]and Eric and Forest were in the back seat
[01:38.04]goofing off and roughhousing.
[01:41.21]As we reached the area on the dirt road
[01:43.86]where the trees closed in around us
[01:46.20]I saw something just outside the glow of our high beams.
[01:50.33]It looked like something small
[01:52.66]and hunched⁵ down on the left side of the road.
[01:56.51]As the headlights finally fell upon the thing I saw it fully⁶.
[02:01.71]It was short, appearing to be only about three or four feet tall,
[02:07.04]and thin with unnaturally⁷ long arms.
