Soccer Practice.

...July 19, 1989, it was a normal summer break....

Birds were chirping, barbecue with neighbors and friends, and finally, soccer practice.

At least that's how break usually goes, but this one didn't go quite that way.

We were about 20 minutes into practice on an early Tuesday morning, we were rehearsing for our next game with the Jersey Scouts.

Our coach was giving us tips on how to improve our soccer game skills, so all of us were huddled up pretty close together.

All of a sudden, our coach stopped talking and was facing the woods that were across the field.

He was looking with a puzzled look on his face.

We didn't quite know what was going on at first, until we saw what he was looking at.

Before we knew it, all of us were looking with a blank expression on our faces.

There was a man.

Who was probably around 6'1", given the fact that we were 40 ish feet away from him.

If I were to guess, I'd say he was probably around his late 30s, but it was just a wild guess because I couldn't quite tell from some mask he was wearing.

It was this strange mask almost like the kind of mask you would buy at a Halloween store.

But it didn't look new it was dirty, burned, scratched, and worn out.

But I could swear that that mask looked oddly familiar like I've seen it somewhere, but I was probably just loosin' it from what happened last week.

Besides that me and all my teammates were pretty freaked out and didn't know what to do.

The man wasn't talking or moving, just staring at us as we stared.

Three minutes passed, nothing.

Five, still nothing.

Eventually, after 2 more minutes. They walked back into the far away forest.

Then somebody broke the silence.

It was the coach.

He was stuttering a little but managed to spit out a few words and told us to head home, and that practice was off for a few days.

I didn't quite mind this since I've been going to practice every single day for 6 hours straight,

But remembering that man's mask and spine-chilling appearance just freaked the hell out of me.

I decided that when I get back home, I'll try and do some research to try and figure out who that man was.

I was walking back with my two best friends, Aiden and Katie.

Katie was sweet, kind, and utterly adored at school for her long, wavy black hair and bright blue eyes as well as her outgoing personality.

But Aiden ooh he's different he's tall and handsome with dark, soft curls and green eyes but has a boring yet sporty's attitude.

Katie's been my friend since birth, but Aiden has been the boy I adored since my Freshmen Year.

I liked him.

Every single bit.
