We've been reading Fervent so it made sense to watch The War Room since
1) Priscilla Shirer is in it.
2) The theme of the movie is prayer as is the theme of Fervent.
Monte decided to busy himself outside the house by taking our various cars to get washed, filled up with gas, you know…Dad stuff.
It was after dark when he returned and the movie was over.
After everyone left he said he had something to tell me.
He said he was driving on the street that runs along the field by our house. There are trees that line the street along that field.
The headlights of whatever car Monte was driving at that particular time caught a shadowy figure that jumped in front of the trunk of one of those trees so as not to be seen.
Monte looked, and he said he looked hard, as he drove closer by but he could not see ANYONE in front of or behind the tree.
"It's like they faded right into the tree trunk."
I asked what he thought it was, more rhetorically, than seriously. He answered immediately,
"A tree demon."
For two weeks straight he brought up the "tree demon" every time we drove past the tree where the supposed "fading right into the trunk" happened.
We all just kinda let him talk about it.
It was a busy time.

| FYI: don't Google "creepy trees" if you value a good night's sleep. |
Sometime within that two weeks I saw on Facebook that there had been a police car chase very close to our house which led to a chase on foot and the police had asked all the residents just two streets away to not leave the house and to keep their pets inside.
Hmm.
I vaguely remember hearing sirens
during the The War Room movie.
Just a few days ago, I was sitting with neighbors on their porch when they started talking about the police car chase situation so close to our house.
I asked when it happened exactly.
It was the Tuesday of our movie night!
The same Tuesday Monte saw the tree demon which actually was just a dude hiding from the police because he stole a car and then engaged in a high speed car chase.
Thankfully, Monte had stopped by our neighbor's porch to say hi
after he got home from work because I don't think he'd believe me.
He was all invested in that tree demon story.
THE END
