As Heather was walking down the pier at 10:00 pm, she noticed a man sitting at the edge of the docks, his feet in the water. He was staring at the water, as if he was trying to see what was below the surface. Since she did n't have much to do and the cab was n't coming yet, she came up to him and asked, `` What are you doing?'' 
 
 The man seemed to spend a long while thinking about this. So much that, just as she was about to leave, he suddenly replied, `` Does n't the water look beautiful?''. She flinched. She had never heard a guy use the word'beautiful' in that context. She looked at the glimmering water. She'd never noticed before how serene it looked, the way the reflection of the moon brought a shimmering light to the soft tides. 
 
 `` Yes, it's very beautiful,'' she said, `` Mind if I sit down with you?'' 
 
 He replied, `` Nope.'' 
 
 So she went and sat down. Neither of them said nothing for a while after. She stared at his face. It was soft and graceful, not one that could belong to anyone abusive. Or perhaps that was a ruse. Perhaps under that magnificent exterior, was a mind of evil. Her thoughts were interrupted by the horn of a taxi. `` Oh,'' she said, `` I have to leave. Will you come here tomorrow?''. He nodded. Satisfied, she walked to the taxi, and thought of him all the way home. 
 
 The next night, she walked down the same pier at three minutes to ten. She sat at the same spot the previous night, wondering when he was coming, or he was coming. Just as she was about to sit down, she noticed a bloody ant on her shoe. Disgusted, she scraped it off and threw it in the water. 
 
 When the clock hit 10:00, and the ant transformed into a human, she ran away, screaming, with a memory that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
