Jeff-B, you are right, you said story! However the "author" does not say story.

" Time has passed, about two years to be exact, and I feel that I better write down my story before it passes into that gray area of unreality".
"You who read this story can expect no great prose, no witicisms to tempt the chuckle bones, nothing to challenge the imagination. This will be a straightforward account of what happened".
This author is basically saying this is a real event that actually happened.It might be a good story, but it should not have been written up in the beginning to be factual. I did not even get to the portrayal of hunters being bloodthirsty whatevers.
But I do enjoy reading "stories" about bigfoot, and any other creatures of the night, That is my time to roam the woods and valleys. The darker the better, and when the hair stands up on the back of your neck, and nothing is making a noise, and the air is still and thick. Then you know you are close.
