The sun shined like a crystal bathing in moonlight and as the engine of the car starting up young Harper was packing the last of her things to get ready for the beach.
Dad: Why are you packing so much your not moving out your going to the beach?
Harper: You never know what your going to need.
Dad: my point still stands,you don't need to bring a jumper to the beach.
Harper: I don't care its a nice colour and I like it,besides why isn't mum coming with us?
Dad: She said she needed to go to work early so she told me to head off without her.
Harper: Again?
Dad: Yes now hurry up we need to get moving.
Harper finished packing up and they headed off
Dad: WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TRAFFIC!!?
Harper: Dad its the holidays,everyone wants to go to the beach.
Eventually they made it to the beach and put up there set
Dad: See isn't this nice?
Harper: No I hate it.
Dad: Why its nice here and its sunny wants not to love?
Harper: Everything is not to love,its too hot its too sandy I hate it!
Dad: Yes but-
Harper: umm D-dad whos that man?
Harper then pointed over the horizon to where she saw him
Dad: Harper..there is no man where your pointing.
Harper: Yes there Is I can see him!
Dad: Sweetie your pointing over the horizon theres no way a there could be a man over the horizon.
Harper: But I can see him he's hard to see but he's wearing a trench coat,a.......gas mask and he's waving at me??
Dad: Harper are you okay?I think we should see a doctor.It could be because of the heat.
Later that day Harpers father and her went to see a doctor called Doctor Biron.
Dr Biron: So mr?
Dad: Fallom.
Dr Biron: Ok so mr Fallom you say your daughter has been talking about a "man over the horizon"

Dr Biron: Ok bring Harper in I must speak with her about this.
Connor (the dad) brought Harper in
Dr Biron: Hello Harper I'm Dr Biron please take a seat.
Harper silently sat down
Dr Biron: So Harper from what your father told me you saw a man over the horizon and he wore a tench coat and a gas mask correct?
Harper: Yes he was waving to me to follow him.
Dr Biron: I see could you draw me a picture of this man for me Harper?
