Mokele-Mbembe - Story


Alright, gather ’round. I gotta tell ya ’bout this time back in ’87 when I was on a hunt deep in the Congolese jungle. It was warm and partly cloudy, one of those afternoons where the sun’s playin’ hide-and-seek with the clouds. I was movin’ real quiet through the undergrowth when somethin’ strange caught my ear – noises comin’ from the river. I crept closer, tryin’ not to make a sound. And then… I saw it. A creature so massive and unlike anythin’ I’d ever imagined, it prolly made Moby Dick look like a minnow. It was towerin’ at least 20 feet tall, stretched out over 40 feet long, with a neck and tail that went on for days. And the scales! They were glistening under the dappled sunlight, reflectin’ like diamonds. But what really made my jaw hit the ground was this sail-like thing on its back. It looked otherworldly, like somethin’ straight outta a fairytale. The beast was just drinkin’ from the river, not a care in the world. I stood there, starin’, feelin’ like I’d stumbled onto somethin’ sacred. It seemed like minutes passed before it finally turned and disappeared into the dense foliage, leavin’ behind nothin’ but ripples in the water and a sense of disbelief in my heart. I shoulda taken more than just a quick glance, but you don’t expect to find something like that out there. I’m tellin’ ya, though, it happened. And ever since then, I’ve been tryin’ to figure out what we were dealin’ with. But for now, all I know is, we’re not alone in this big ol’ world of ours. There’s still mysteries out there, just waitin’ to be found.

Overview

Alright, listen up. We’re talkin’ ’bout the Mokele-Mbembe here, a critter that’s been givin’ folks in Africa’s deepest forests the heebie-jeebies for centuries now. Most sightings happen along the rivers of the DRC, Republic of Congo, and Cameroon – prolly ’cause that’s where this beast likes to hang out. People report seein’ it swimmin’, causin’ ripples like a freight train goin’ through water. Now, the physical description – well, it varies some, but most folks say it looks like a giant lizard or dinosaur with a long neck and four big legs. Some even say it’s got plates or scales for armor, makin’ it look like a living tank. Size? It’s supposed to be huge, up to 15-20 feet tall, though nobody’s ever weighed one, so who knows? Behavior-wise, the Mokele-Mbembe’s got itself a set of lungs – or whatever you call ’em in reptiles. People hear it roarin’ and bellowin’ from miles away. It’s like livin’ next door to a factory horn, but with more echo. And the prints? Yeah, they’re out there, found near riverbanks, big enough to make grown men sweat. Now, some so-called “experts” might tell you it can’t exist ’cause they ain’t never seen one themselves. But listen, I’ve been on construction sites where things went missin’, and nobody could explain it – didn’t mean they weren’t there. Same goes for these cryptids. They’re hidin’ well, or maybe someone’s coverin’ somethin’ up. Either way, these things are out there, and folks keep seein’ ’em. So, what do you make of that?
