Jonah was driving down the old road one late night when he experienced one of the most terrifying events in his life. He probably should have listened to his roommates stories. If he did, none of this would have happened. He would have realized that his roommate isn’t all that crazy after all.
It was a cool October night. Jonah had just gotten off work not too long ago and couldn’t wait to get home because his new roommate, Amanda, makes the best fall dinners with desserts for him after a long day at work. Although the country roads take him longer to get home, he still sometimes likes to take them to look at the beautiful scenery. Amanda always protests against him taking the country roads, though. She always makes up strange stories hoping Jonah would believe them so he would get home quicker. He didn’t blame her. She had her own business but she worked out of the comfort in her bedroom. So she didn’t have very many visitors when he was gone.
He began to think back on one specific evening when he came home a little later than usual. It was the first time he took the country roads home from work. When he finally got home, he told Amanda why he was late and apologized for not letting her know in advance. Right when he told her, her face went completely blank. She hesitated, then finally spoke.
“You can’t go down those roads ever again! Those roads are very dangerous to be on at night!” she yelled.
“What do you mean? I go down those roads all the time and nothing bad has happened to me.” Jonah explained.
“You know how on the main country road there is a hidden driveway when you first turn onto the road?” she asked.
“Yes?” he was now confused as to why she was asking him this.
“It is said that about a year ago, on those old country roads a man, named Heinz, was with one of his his relatives named Gloria. They were looking for his dog who ran away earlier that night. It was starting to get dark out so they decided to check the road one last time and then call it a day. They tramped over to the road. They glanced around the road and treeline, not seeing the dog anywhere. They soon began to walk down their driveway to head back home. When they began to head back, they heard a faint barking noise behind
"Daniel! Zach! What is wrong?" Jonah asked as he walked downstairs to stop all the commotion. It was moving day, not everyone get sidetracked day.
“Don't listen to him,” her mother says, taking her hand and leading her inside the small house, closing the door on him. “He'll come around, Awen, you'll see. Please, sit down. We have so much to get caught up on, and I just put dinner in the oven.”
She kept asking if she should cook dinner, but he wouldn’t answer her or talk to her. Mary noticed he wasn’t acting the same and that he was zoned out all the time. She was furious with him, and she left the room to figure out what she should do. She left to go to the kitchen, but she felt light and sick about what he did.
“Is that area secure?” I asked, knowing the Tilley Family would look for any and all opportunities to changed things back in their
“Where exactly are we?” I asked, looking around while slowly exiting the vehicle. “This is the middle of nowhere.”
“Good,” was the girl’s reply. They walked out of his house and climbed his his run down car. The paint was chipped, and it needed new tires, but he adored it. They had decided to go get frozen yogurt, as a cool treat on a hot summer day. The frozen yogurt shop was packed to the brim with sweaty, smiling faces, in for their favorite flavor. As he sat down next to Paige on the curb with his slightly melted dessert, he thought about all the hard times he had just been
Suddenly there was barking outside. Control your damn dogs, I thought to myself, subconsciously pulling on Max’s leash. He’s not there. The dog that’s barking is mine. God dammit, Max. I ran out to get him. Where is he? I looked across the street. He’s not by the Mining Museum. The Post Office? Nope. I jogged down the street. Turns out he was at the Little Dog House.
“ Last night was amazing, ” Shay said as he reminisces about his and Sarah’s one month anniversary last night. Suddenly his phone rings in the background. It was Sarah. “ Hey Shay, I need to tell you something important, in person,” she said worriedly. “ Okay. . . . . . , then I’ll meet you at Starbucks at 8, ” Shay said as he got out of bed and looked at the clock. “ Okay see you at 8 then. . . , ” Sarah said worriedly again. Shay immediately shut off his phone and scrambled to his closet for clothes. As he put on his clothes Shay wondered why she sounded so worried but forgot about it afterwards. Just as Shay walked into Starbucks, he sees Sarah wearing her Beyoncé shirt. After they order their coffee, they start to talk. “ So. . . . why
Lilly glanced down the row of cars all parked up under the trees. A chill moved through her. She brought her knees up to her chest, pressed her thighs against her rib cage and let her head sink down. She needed to find a place to stay. She needed somewhere to sleep and she needed to be able to get ready tomorrow to make sure Bobby saw her looking hot again. Because he would kick himself once he saw her all made-up in a nice dress and nice shoes. He’d feel pretty dumb for avoiding her this last year over a stupid pair of flip-flops. But how was she going to be that girl who turned his head if she spent tonight sleeping rough? Lilly closed her eyes and tried not to let it upset her. Puffed up eyes was the last thing she
“You do know that our side of the road is a couple feet over there.”
“Huh, well that’s odd, did you look at the map any other time?” Seth asked.
As he pulls up to her house, anxiety enters his body once again. Benny sits in his car contemplating on whether or not to go in, but then realizes the one hundred and one degree weather and does not want to risk his cakes icing from melting even more. He walks up to her front porch, and carefully knocks on the door. All kinds of thoughts are racing through his head, both bad and good situations as to what is going to happen when the door opens. What feels like an eternity of waiting, Benny decides to knock again but a tad bit louder. He prays to Yeezus that she would answer, and prays even a bit harder that she would answer in full frontal nudity. Minutes later and still no one answers, so he irritably pounds on the door in hopes that she would
"Hey, I might need a place to crash tonight. Cal, just got home. I don't think I can fight with him again." pressing send she climbed out of bed slipping her shoes on right after. Inhaling and exhaling deep breathes Bailey made her way over to the door as she opened it. Seeing Calahan at the table eating put a small smile on her face. It looked as though he had enjoyed the horrible meal that she had made. It was something simple since she had spent the day studying once again after coming home from lunch. Bailey had spent the morning with her mom and then had her doctor's appointment for her stress. After words Bailey had lunch with Jace and then came home to study for one of her final exams an exam that she needed. Bailey had been attending UNLV trying to get her degree in
“ Be careful” he says. “Stay on this side of the neighborhood. Look out for cars.”
“No, not really, however it is strange you heard strange noises, the path is fenced off a few meters away so no wild animals will attack the travellers.”Jonathan replied.
