"She would not lie to me." I like that the speaker didn't actually see Bigfoot, but relies, instead, on her friend's tale/lie.

"It's a rhythmic scent or the dog barking wildly." I love this opening - it's so avant garde - wow.

"A frothy mixture of terror and tantalization." Oh my. This line is rather delicious. ;)

I love how you introduce this, the "rhythmic scent" it makes me think of the smells of a forest, and the running through it, how it mixes them together.

Local myths are fascinating...Halifax, UK, has loads...police service, happily married couples, dental hygiene, convenience shops, roads without potholes; someone even told me that apparently there are stars in the sky on magical nights. Lies, disguised as desires, I suspect ;-)

Washington sounds much more fun!

(on another note, I've noticed you number the titles...any significance in this?)

The fifth stanza is my favorite. I love the images you created.

You did this really well :) I like it!
