In the cold December evening, Zach Parker was driving to the Appalachian Mountains. He exited the car after spotting a small cabin. He prepared his things as he watched the sun goes down. He checked his phone, 21:07. He lay his body in the cramped sleeping bag, as he watched the stars shine, he fell asleep.
23:19
A loud gunshot was heard by Zach in his sleep. Zach woke up in shock. He searched the area, nothing. He didn't find a body, but he found a bloody revolver. He used to be a cop, so he put the gun in a plastic bag. He searched the body again, with a flashlight. He stumbled upon the horrifying bloody image of the body. He packed his things and drove to the nearest police station. Before going he set a marker in the body's location.
He arrived at the nearest police station and asked the officers to follow them. They droved back to the body, it was gone. Later, Zach was brought back to the police station. Zach entered the interrogation room. An officer entered the room and interrogated him.
NATHAN/OFFICER= Where did you find the body?
ZACH= I told you, the same spot.
NATHAN/OFFICER= What triggered you to look in the area for the body?
ZACH= I heard a gunshot.
NATHAN= Where is the gun?
ZACH= Here. *Zach pulls out the gun* (it was a Medusa M47)
NATHAN/OFFICER= What is your phone number? We will call you for more information. Thank you, peace off.
ZACH= *writes down his phone number in a note* *leaves the room*
He enters the car and leaves the station. After driving for a while, he started getting tired. He closed his eyes for a few seconds. Not paying attention to the road. Opening his eyes, he saw a figure in orange, he avoided the figure. Crashing to a tree, he woke up, it was a dream. He was parked near the police station and took a different direction. Driving in the dark endless road.
