Solitary Man, The Giant Pongo

"We stopped to sleep at dusk. The night was especially odd. It was darker than usual; there was no moon and the silence was almost palpable. The strange smell was still surrounding us, stronger than ever. I started to feel it inside my body. My eyes were struggling to be open. My arms and legs felt numb and before I noticed I was not able to move. A strong sound rumbled the jungle. I wanted to see what it was but I was paralyzed. A few minutes later, something big fell gracefully just beside me. I did a blurry glance at what was coming toward me. The last thing I remember was a giant human hand covering my face."
