until the night watch saw something in the darkness. 

It’s a warm, clear and still night.  I didn’t see or hear anything when the dogs barked, shut up and stared at something.  Whatever it was, they didn’t want to chase it or take their eyes off of it. 

I got the dogs back in the house.  I asked Sparky if it was a chupacabra.  He said yeah, that sounded good, and did we have chicken or beef.  

I don’t know what Sparky is talking about, and neither does he.
