My mom and I where going on a road trip to some national park during my spring break, which she had off. My school always seemed to have spring break the week before Easter so that was a plus, I guess. Towards the end, when we had maybe 100 or less miles to get home we stopped by one of my mom's friend's homes who lived in the same county as the national park.

Now you see we decided to, since the park has to entrances and it snowed at least 15 feet that we would drive to both entrances. But you couldn't drive through the park due to the 15 feet of snow so we drove around. At the half way second entrance we came across this little town. It had this 200 year old store/bar/restaurant/ gas station, at the fork in the road.

My mom and I needed some direction and maybe some drinks (We had tons of snacks and some water). So we went into the store part. The weird thing was there was no one, despite the fact that there were at least two other cars outside besides ours. Plus it was dead silent. Now this was pretty unnerving. My mom and I quickly grabbed some tea and beef jerky. We hurried to the check out counter, very unnerved. As we got to counter we heard a slight scratching sound. As though a rat or something was crawling to us but it soon stopped.

A few minutes after an old woman, as wrinkly as a prune and hair gray as that of a rat. As the old lady ringed us up my mom asked her which way we would go, left or right (since the map from the visitor center at the park had failed to show the turn) to which the lady replied, "To the left then another left turn." This lady sounded like her voice was product of nails against a chalk board. At least we only had to hear her speak once more, right.

Before I tell you the next part you must know my family at least my mom, dad, and I are not religious at all but due to the oddness of this place it chilled us to the bone.

The lady soon spoke again, "It will be... six dollars and sixty-six cent." Sure it wouldn't be too spine-tingling if we hadn't already been unnerved, but we thanked her, quickly getting out of the store and to our car. We quickly got the fuck out of this place.

The rest of the drive to the second entrance was uneventful. Once we got there we saw a beautiful lake, with thin ice. This part of the story was uneventful so I will leave it out since I have little to no time left.

It was after we visited my mom's friend we left, almost watched. It wasn't until we pasted an old little house with a barn, that was completely dark that I noticed something in the rear view mirror, inside of the car. I didn't even have enough time to speak before a cold, scarred hand covered my face with cloth. That's all I remember, i don't know where I am or what else happened or where my mom is but I can hear who ever or what ever coming so please help me! Call 911! My name is Alice Georgina, my mom is Lina Georgina, please help me I don't know what is going to happen just please it's coming down the stairs.....
