Please review, it would be greatly appreciated and would help to speed up the writing process, thank you.
The moon was full and shining brightly through the trees. A young man was camping out in the woods with his hunting dog, they had just settled in for the night when his dog perked up and growled.
"What is it Killer?" the young man asked.
He heard something move just outside, something big. Sitting up he reached for his hunting rifle, and flashlight, Killer growled, then barked. The thing stopped, silence pierced the night air. Killer barked again making his owner jump; the thing took off like a shot.
"Get him!" the man grunted; Killer took off barking and snarling.
The young man ran out, switched his light on and followed. He soon lost sight of his dog, but could hear him barking. He heard Killer bark, and growl, he heard the thing turn. There was a brief struggle he heard Killer whimper, and whine followed by a thud. Everything went quite, the silence was unbearable, nothing moved, nothing breathed, and nothing seemed to exist. The man could only hear himself breathing, his heart felt like it was going to burst from his chest and run away. He didn't dare move; only too late did he realize his light was still on. Something moved behind him, he turned only to be met by utter darkness. Slowly he made his way back to camp; he heard something move to his left. He spun around wildly aiming his gun, more movement behind him now. Spinning around again he came face to face with a beast the size of a bear. Screaming he shot wildly at the beast, it grabbed his gun and flung it aside. His screams pierced the night sky, but where cut short after a moment.
The forest was silent once again, the only indication of someone ever being there was a small tent and a burnt out fire.

"It's the strangest thing Captain, four days ago a hunter disappeared," Tintin began.
"What's so strange about that?" the Captain grumped.
"The very next day two hikers went up the mountain and disappeared. Yesterday a search party went to find the three and only two returned." Tintin went on.
"I heard about it, one of the men claimed he saw a blue box fall out of the sky." Grumbled the Captain "If you ask me they're just trying to get attention from the media."
Tintin got up, grabbed his coat, and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to check this out Captain; it would make a great story for the paper."
"If you see any green men in a 'blue box', tell them to get lost."
Tintin chuckled, "Will do Captain."
"Oh Tintin!" He stopped and turned. "For goodness sakes, be careful."
"Don't worry Captain, I'm always careful." With that said, Tintin walked out the door to investigate, Snowy close behind.
The mountain was cut off from public due to some strange disappearing's. However Tintin managed to get some clearance, thanks to the Thomson brothers. After a great discussion with the police at the base of the mountain, Tintin was cleared to proceed. He asked the police in which direction the hikers had gone before vanishing. After about a 15 minute hike he stumbled across the hunter's campsite, which was now torn to shreds. Tintin examined the wreckage, but found nothing of interest. He lingered a bit longer before following the path of the hikers; he didn't find anything besides rocks and trees.
"Well Snowy, there doesn't seem to be a struggle anywhere on the path, nor by the camp. It's getting dark we better head back beforeā¦" He suddenly noticed an odd color in the foliage, a little ways off the path. Curiosity got the better of him and he moved towards it. He cleared the brush to a meadow and gasped.
"Hello, what is that?" Tintin asked nobody in particular. He moved around the object, circling it twice, while Snowy growled.
"I say Snowy, what an odd place for someone to put a Police box."
