A few horror stories and movies are based around a monster that thinks it's invisible and the characters have to act like they don't see it while hiding how terrified they are, so I thought I would work that concept into this.

Dale shivers as the coyote approaches to show he somewhat can sense it, maybe as a feeling of being watched. So the coyote is what causes that hurry up and close the door feeling we get sometimes when it's dark and quiet.

There's not really much 'to get' that you're missing. I just thought it was an interesting concept.

It was. Interesting enough that I was very bothered by not understanding it.

So it's supposed to be something of a mystery -- some supernaturalquantum mythological horror being.

Yes, that's what I intended, for the reader to be confused alongside the protagonist
