It must be the hot humid weather that all of them had an afternoon nap. Gardo and Arnel were snoring heavily. Gheez those men are noisy. Did you know that heavy weight individuals have problem breathing while asleep? They do have snore-ing problem.
The women had their own space inside the hut. They too have their mosquito nets. They should for they hate creepy crawlers. They have seen a lot of them while they were out in the forest recording their experiments.
While in the middle of their sleep, Joan woke up urgently. She thought she heard a very strange noise. It can't be the chirping birds. No it's not the snoring sound from the guys. It is unusual. It is creepy and it is her first time to hear that kind of peculiar noise and she cannot pin point where its coming from. She looked around but cannot find what she's after nor there's no movement after the last noise made by that unknown creature. She looked at Jeaneth and Janice who are sleeping peacefully.
"Hmmm...maybe just an annoying insects somewhere, " assuring herself that the sound she heard is just nothing but a figment of her imagination she went back to sleep. Once again she covered herself with mosquito net.
Hissssssss shhhhhhh hissssss swhsihhhhhh )))))))) the sound becomes evident once again. Joan woke up and find the hissing sound.
"Oh my God!! " Right there up on the ceiling is a long slender scaly creature with its wide mouth open and a long strand of stringlike tongue is about to touch her face.
"Ah ------------" Joan couldn't say any word. She was speechless.
It was her first time to see a very strange mysterious creature like that. Never before seen by her. Even the whole crew haven't seen that yet. She tried to grab her boots right immediately. In a moment of adrenaline rush she hit the reptilian. The creature run as fast as he could. The boot that was thrown upward fall on the floor creating noise and woke up everybody.
"What's happening?" Janice asked her.
Still weary and sleepy, Gardo and Arnel and Mel were questioning everyone and hurriedly grabbed their daggers and AK 47, and handy guns as they 're ready for action.
"Are you okay?" Arnel asked Joan.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I first thought I have seen a reptilian creature up on the ceiling. It was long and slender! Scaly and scary. Then I run towards outside and followed it outside then suddenly hundreds of kachina holding sharpened arrows and torches of fire on their left hands. " Joan continued her story, " then when all of you rushed out here they all vanished."
Gardo: Are you sure you have seen them? I mean the kachina?
Joan: Yes. You think I'm lying?
Jeaneth: Maybe you're having a dream? Or perhaps having hallucination?
Janice: Ya, maybe you are just exhausted and over fatigued from all the work here. Let's all go back inside the hut.
Gardo brewed hot coffee for the group. Mel and Arnel told the girls to relax. The two guys continued the recording of the wind speed by the hour, also the humidity and temperature by the hour.
After dinner, the guys built a bonfire outside to keep them warm. It was cooler at this time of the night. Gardo brought his guitar and started entertaining them with his mellow touch voice and sang, ((( Country road take me home, to the place where I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama, take me home )))
