In the small city of Watertown, New York, nestled in the heart of the Tug Hill Plateau and eastern shores of Lake Ontario, rumors of a green-eyed monster roaming the streets have persisted for decades. According to local legend, the monster only appears during the coldest nights of winter, when snow is falling heavily and the wind is howling through the empty streets.
The creature, whose origins are shrouded in mystery, is said to possess immense strength and an otherworldly intelligence, and it is rumored to have the ability to travel through time. Some locals believe that the monster is the result of a failed government experiment that took place in the nearby Thompson Park, where a time portal is said to have been discovered.
The park has a rich history, dating back to the 1800s when it was used as a military training ground during the Civil War. Many soldiers, both Union and Confederate, passed through the area, leaving behind stories of bravery and sacrifice. In the early 1900s, the park was a popular destination for wealthy families who built grand estates in the surrounding hills.
But with the arrival of the green-eyed monster, the tranquility of the park was shattered. Reports of the creature began to surface in the early 1920s, when a brutal snowstorm hit the city, trapping residents in their homes for days on end. It was during this time that the first sightings of the monster were reported, with witnesses describing a towering, green-eyed beast that stalked the streets in the dead of night.
As the years went on, the sightings became more frequent, and stories of the creature’s exploits began to circulate throughout the city. Some claimed that the monster was responsible for the disappearance of several residents, while others said that it had the power to control the weather itself.
Despite numerous attempts to track down the creature, it remains at large to this day, its green eyes haunting the dreams of those who dare to venture out into the snow-covered streets of Watertown after dark. And while some dismiss the stories as mere myth, others believe that there is a kernel of truth to the legend of the green-eyed monster, and that the time portal in Thompson Park may hold the key to its origins.
