Lyfe Changing
came around a sharp corner pretty fast; I
didn’t pay attention to how hard my foot was on the gas pedal
causing me to go even faster. I continued to go down the main road
like everything was cool and in attempt to switch lanes I looked
back into my review which was blocked by the duffle bag. “Shit” I
muttered. I slowed down and reached into the back seat trying to
rearrange the bag so I could see. HONK! HONK! In the midst of me
trying to move the bag I heard the harsh sounds of a horn honking
repeatedly. I looked back to the front of the road and didn’t see
anything coming my way. I figured the honking was coming from the
behind me.
    I once again reached around
to move the heavy duffle bag out of the way. HONK! HONK! After
finally getting the bag out of the way I was shocked to see that no
one was behind me. What the hell? I thought. I turned back around to the front
confused and damn near collided with an incoming semi-truck.
“Woaaaah!” I yelled as I swerved into the other lane to avoid the
collision. The car swung around repeatedly throwing me against the
windshield. I soon drove off the highway into the woods crashing
into a nearby tree connected to telephone wiring, splitting the
front of the Nissan. Laying back in the driver’s seat I felt blood
trickle down my face and arm. I couldn’t move let alone open my
eyes. Everything appeared foggy and incoherent; I couldn’t make out
anything that was going on. As the dead silence surrounded me I
started to hear the faint sound of whispers. They were so low and
speaking so fast it was hard to make out what was being said. I
tried to open my eyes but could barely see all I could do was sit
there and wait… for what I don’t know.
    It always ends like
this…
    I knew it was
coming…
    I tried to help
him…
    He was a lost
cause…
    Now it’s too
late…
    It’s his time…
    No help for him
now…
    They’re going to take
him….
    It’s all over…
    It’s all over…
    I continued to hear the
whispers surround me the more they talked. Who are you? I wanted to ask
them. Why are saying this? What do you
want? The whispers continued to ramble on
completely ignoring my please. As my vision became clearer I
noticed dark figures in the shadows coming closer to me. No…don’t…please no. I
begged. It was like I was in a nightmare but couldn’t scream…I
couldn’t make a sound. They continued to come for me ready to take
me away. Stop…don’t…please . I sat body
stiffened unable to move or do anything. No…please.

    Destiny
    I made my way down the
highway and hummed to Lauryn Hill which played on the radio, it was
a little late to be traveling but I was use to this road being that
I always took it to get to the cabin. I had now felt foolish for
driving up here chasing fairytales in the first place. I sighed
when I thought about it, I had missed out on a lot of good
opportunities with men in my life and I was sick of it. I had a new
prospect on the horizon and was ready to see what he had to offer.
I had finally come across a good one who seemed really interested
me and I wasn’t about to let him get away. As I came down the
highway I was in disbelief as I saw glass and what appeared to be
car fragments scattered across the road. “Oh my God…what happened?”
I slowed down as I continued to look at all the damage on the
highway. Did someone have crash? This
looks awful. Being that I couldn’t see any
cars on the road I figured that accident must have been a hit and
run.
    I glanced down at the tire
marks that seemed to have swirled and sped off into the trees. I
noticed broken limbs and grass shredded along the way and sparks of
light flickered in the darkness. Is
somebody back there? I wondered. Against my
better judgment I stopped my car and debated getting out. I didn’t
know what to do; God only knows what was in those woods. It could be a murderer, a bear, a yeti,
or….someone who really needs my help. I
took deep calming breathes and tried
