Highway 666
As the fluffy clouds floated in the blue sky shielding those below from the blazing sun’s rays. Summer was on its way and I had been looking for a car, I had no luck due to the cars either being new and expensive or cheap and faulty, I ran out of options so I went to Craigslist ,little after I saw a cheap car, only $300 and It had pretty good milage. I didn’t waste any time when it came to contacting the seller.While on the phone,The person sounded oddly stressed out, but I thought it was just that they had a nervous personality.
A Couple days later we met up but the person had me beyond creeped. His pale skin , the heavy eyelids and his dangerously thin frame , In my head I thought if I should talk to him
about the car or call an ambulance .After a couple of hours of talking he handed me the keys,
Almost instantly he seemed to get better yet it seemed like he was gone not physically but more spiritually ,It was as if I was talking to a husk then a human being. Suddenly he began screaming and howling before he ran into the forest while hysterically laughing. When I looked down at the keys it seemed ...heavy, like I had a iron ball in my hands, moments later I heard whispers from behind but when I turned around I saw no one, looking back at the keys it felt as if I was looking into the eyes of a person I decided to ignore it as shoved the keys into my pocket before walking over to the car.. However as I had my legs still outside of the car the door slammed shut on my legs.I yelled from the intense pain as I clawed at the door and thrashed as the tears ran down my face. Finally I opened the door and fell onto the rough gravel,Tears still rolling down my face, my legs slowly going numb. I tried crawling away when behind me I heard the car start up. I turned around and I watched in horror as the car slowly rolled on top of me.I could feel my ribs slowly cracking and my breath being crushed out from under the weight of the car. But suddenly the car rolled off of me. I tried to crawl away but I couldn’t move, I looked at the car unable to feel my legs anymore. I felt my world crumble as I saw the hood of the car open and a hand made of shadows reach out of the hood. The hand ripped the hood off and A shapeless creature crawled out of the car and it fell on the floor. Gagging sounds came from the shadow beast as its body began morphing.As it began to solidify the face of a china doll formed covering its face like a mask,The eye sockets began to drip blood. As the creature made of nightmares slowly crawled towards me quietly whispering ,It paused before it leaped on top of me it screamed at me through its doll face before the mask began to crack and shatter. Porcelain shards fell into my eyes. I screamed and clawed at my eyes,Slowly the world faded to black.
It felt almost no time had even passed when I woke up, the only difference being that instead of it being a bright sunny day the sky was pitch black with a blood red moon hung in the sky dripping its red into the pitch black darkness,The drops clung to the sky .I felt only dread as I heard the cries and screams of children echo throughout the endless void that used to be the sky. I began to run but I began to hear chains moving and when I turned to see what it was I saw a black chain that fell into a hole.Suddenly the chain jerked me back and I was slowly being dragged towards the hole,As I kicked and thrashed nothing happen,If I tried to touch the chain it my hand would just fade through it.I began to cry as I fell into the hole. Everything began to return to normal,The sky,The trees,The ground it all had returned even my injuries were back to normal. As I looked around I saw the car with fear I turned and began to run. Then I fell to my knees as all the pain returned and I saw the black chains. I looked up and saw the masked demon standing above me holding the other end of the chain it turned around and dragged me towards the car where it faded inside of it. When I blinked I found myself inside of the car. Looking at the mirror I saw the shadow,It lifted the mask so that the mouth became visible and whispered ”Home….” I held back tears and began to drive home with my new car…..
