I hardly remember anything about last night, I went to bed late and woke up in a hurry for a job interview. But I do remember that I was riding in a car with my father's friend Phil, and we picked up a somewhat dirty looking guy who needed a ride. He wanted to go to some part of town to look around for a party of rave, Phil instead drove him to a church and dropped him off. The last part I remember was being at a house, and someone telling me that the hitcher was back. I walked into the front of the yard and saw him, and something strange happen that seemed important... but I don't remember what.
A girl that I had picked up hitch hiking and I spent the night in an abandoned building. The next morning she asked if I would drive her to the main road. I headed down a dirt road and came to a rickety old bridge with a pier area on it. The bridge was only one lane and did not look very safe to cross. In the river below, I could see a large, dark shadow. Then I realized it was a giant catfish. I watched as the catfish came to the surface of the water. It's head came way out of the water and it grabbed the bridge with it's legs (It had legs like a sea robin.) It was so large that it's head went right over the top of the bridge. It looked around at the bridge, then slipped back into the water. I had heard about giant catfish, but I never thought they could get that big. This fish was big enough to swallow my car! I told the hitch hiker that there was no way I was going to cross that bridge. I told her if she would come back with me to the building that we had spent the night in, it would only take a few minutes for me to pack up my stuff and then I would find another way across the river. But the girl decided to take her chances and cross the bridge by herself. I stayed and watched until she made it across the bridge safely. Then I realized that there was no place for me to turn around at. I would have to pull into the pier area of the bridge and do a three point turn. I looked around for the catfish and did not see it. So I quickly pulled onto the bridge, did my three point turn and zipped out of there and back down the dirt road where I had come from. When I got back to the building I had spent the night in, I heard voices inside. I walked in and found a family setting up there belongings. I told them, that I came for my things and would be out of their way in a few minutes.
