The Strange Man

When people walk past him, some stare. Some just assume he’s a mannequin. He’s been poked by some. Many people have stolen a clothing item off his unmoving body. They’ve opened his inexpensive briefcase to see if there may be something expensive inside, but they find nothing. They usually put it back, but sometimes they take it for themselves. The next day, though, the man has another empty briefcase in his hand.

Some people aren’t interested in what he has on his person. They’re usually interested in trying to move the man, to see how light or heavy or flexible he may be. They shove and push and pull, but the man’s body stands still. They try to lift his feet, or push him across the floor. But he does not move.

This man has become much of a sensation now. Several news articles have been written about this strange man, along with news stations reporting on his strange behaviour. A sensational YouTuber, Dr. Strange, got curious enough that he put up a hidden camera, watching the man for movement. The camera is still up, but the YouTuber checks it every month and extracts the video. These clips can be found, if you look. For a while, they showed the YouTube audience that this man was unmovable. Some clips have people taking pictures with the man, while many others include somebody that tries to move him. One clip taken even showed a woman stealing his briefcase. She was not identified. These clips earned the YouTuber several thousand followers.

Then one day, all the information that the people gathered about this man was gone against. The man was gone. An empty spot stands where he had, and people walking past show no interest. There are a few people that had seen this man every day up until this point, who stop and investigate around a little bit, but nobody takes major actions. Another few new reports and articles are written and reported, and they show pictures of where he once was. But, the strangest part is yet to come.

The sensational YouTuber, Dr. Strange, who created his very own channel for these videos specifically, called DoctorStrangeVideos, was brought to the surface again. When looking through previous videos his hidden camera had taken of the man, the man was nowhere to be seen. It was almost as if he had never been there in the first place. The same was true for pictures taken of the strange man. He was never seen on any recorded picture or video.

The memories of him have not been erased. People still remember seeing the man while they walked to work everyday. They remember taking a selfie with this strange man. But he is nowhere to be found.

Many people think that he was frozen in time, and the day he disappeared was the day he was back to regular time. Many think he just stood up straight and walked right away. People still look for him in the streets as they pass by his old spot.

Many have wondered where this man might have possibly gone. But not much evidence is evident.

The only thing that remains of the strange man frozen in time is his shadow.
