Description

So, another scary Picture, this one is inspired by my own personal experience. The story goes, in my town we have intact medieval fortifications that enclose the old city center and separate it from the newer suburbia around. These once defensive walls, now don t serve any real purpose but during the communist era, there were many small parks, leisure areas and vegetation build around them in order to create a social enviroment. After the fall of socialism, these parks were left without maintenance or any care at all and they slowly decayed. So the area around the town walls became practicaly a wasteland filled with abandoned playgrounds, benches and arbors. Garbage was everywhere and mostly bottles and syringes from the outcasts of society that started to take those parts as their own. After a while people were avoiding these places and if they had to go through them, they just crossed as fast as they could from the suburbs to the center.
This of course created a sort of a promised land for all the teens from the town to hang out, drink, smoke, fool around and all the other stuff that was possible to do only where the police don t go very often.
Me and my friends were also spending our evenings and nights there. Drinking cheap wine and vodka, complaining about our teen problems, doing stupid shit...etc.
One night I was leaving early around midnight, because I had to be back home by one and since nobody else wanted to go so soon, I was walking home alone. Due to the fact that I live in the town center I had to cross this small park in order to get back home. When I was crossing the park I noticed a dead cat, hanged on a tree. It was nothing unusual because there was at that time a group of punks that was hanging cats and other stray animals just for the fun of it.   
I felt sorry for the cat but I just walked past it until I reached the end of a park. Then I heard a noise behind me, turned around and saw a tall dark slim figure, walking out of the bushes and towards the cat. I froze and only watched the creature sniff around, then aproach the hanged cat and start eating its entrails. I could hear the sounds of bones crunching and flesh tearing while this thing fed.
I dont remember much since I only saw a silhouette but I noticed that its limbs were much longer than it is normal for a human, its back was bent and also its legs were inverted like some sort of an animal. I was standing there, not able to move, stunned in horror when the creature stopped, turned its head and stared at me. I could not see any face or eyes but I knew it was staring right at me.
That was the moment when my legs decided to do the reasonable thing and ran to the city. Towards civilization, people, home and safety. I ran all the way back home, had a cold shower and fell into bed, the combination of stress, adrenaline and alcohol put me to instant sleep and when I woke up it was already morning. I never saw that thing again, maybe it was just alcohol induced halucination but if it was it was damn realistic one.   The park in now reconstructed so it is nice, clean and looks representable. No more dead cats, no more bushes and ruins and no more dark creatures....maybe.

Great drawing and scary story! It would deserve a short comic.
