Unknown Road

I was driving gleefully towards the beautiful State of HAPPINESS. I passed along a beautiful meadow where cows were grazing, and then I passed into an old stone arched bridge like the bridges in old movies. The river I passed by was glistening and it was calm. It was a beautiful day to drive and to go on a road trip. My windows were down and the warm breeze of summer kissed me.The road was smooth and it was just a straight road, no right, no left, just straight ahead.

I was enjoying the view that I forgot  to look on where I was already going and when I returned my gaze on the road. I was surprised because it was a different road already. How did that happen? The road was already rough and there's no meadow, but a place full of tall, thorny weeds, and the trees were leafless, and it's branches were like claws.The breeze was cold and it gave me chills so I closed my windows, but even the windows were icy and it could give you  frostbites.

I wanted to step the breaks, but if I halt, I would just get stuck into this awful road, so I continued driving aimlessly. It started raining too, and as the rain poured, my tears begun to fall and I could not hold it back. I was starting to panic because I didn't know where in the world I was, until I saw a street sign that said: LOVE St. so I made a right turn towards that street because I thought that LOVE was right, but it seemed I was wrong. I should have made a left turn towards the other street which was UNKNOWN St., maybe it was more right than this street. I was about to make a U - turn to go back to that street, but I couldn't so I just drive along without any options.

It stopped raining, but LOVE St. was scarier than to the street I had been before, and more frightening than those horror films, I'd watched. There's no house at all just those creepy lamp posts that lit whenever I passed. There was a  STOP sign in which I thought was the end of the road, but I didn't stop, because if I did. I didn't know what would happen. I was scared. What if I stopped and then someone showed up and he looked like Chuckie? I'd rather go on this road forever than to be killed by an ugly doll. 

I continued and suddenly I heard a train. It seemed near and just then I saw an express train approaching. No matter what happen I wont hit the breaks. It was approaching little by little and when I thought I was dying. The train just passed through me as if I was a spirit. I didn't feel anything or maybe I was really dead that's why. No, I told myself, I'm not yet dead, I'm neither a ghost. I'm still alive. I tried to find another way, probably there was an exist or a signage that said 14 km. away from the state of HAPPINESS, but there's none.

This cold, dark and lonely road was full of surprises as if I was in WONDERLAND except that there's no Cheshire cat, Mad Hatter or Red Queen. It was just me alone in this road, driving aimlessly until my gas was empty. I was supposed to be in the road going to Happiness, but now I was on the unknown road of Love.I didn't even know where the cul - de - sac was. There's no other street sign except from the STOP near the railroad.

I should have stopped in that sign, perhaps if I'd halted I could still find my way back to the road going to Happiness, but I was too stubborn and scared to stop. So here I was in a scary place.I should have kept my eyes on the real road, not in the sceneries which I had fallen into, that's why I had forgotten where I was heading. I was here in this nasty place ALONE and LOST.

I stepped into the gas and speed up and because of my stubbornness my car almost fell into the hole, but thank Goodness I hit the breaks. Slowly I reversed the car and got back to the safe road where there was no hole to fall in. Once again I accelerate, and just when I thought that I was in the safe road, a cat showed up. It was so adorable. 

It was crossing the street, but it suddenly stopped and stared at me. I honked the horns to shoo it away, but he cat was as stubborn as I was and it didn't move out of the way. So I just hit the breaks so as not to hit it, but my breaks didn't work anymore. I also lost control of the wheels and I hit the tree which was more worse than falling into the hole. I am HOPELESS and I am BROKEN, and there was NO ONE TO RESCUE ME, just that adorable cat that just stood there watching me to die in this awful road.
