A Bend In The Road By Nicholas Sparks Novels & Stories

“The roads used to lead to sanctuaries.” The lines spread outward. Through Wolf Ridge. Past houses. Past trees. No walls. No doors. No central destination. Evander stared. “They don’t anymore.” Claire looked at Mason. “Where do they lead?” Bramble stepped onto one. His green markings brightened. The silver road answered. Images flashed across its surface. A farmhouse. A city street. A river. A mountain. A tiny cabin. A marketplace. Places. Ordinary places. Theo gasped.

“Still not great.” I came further into the room. “There’s something I need to tell you.” She waited. “My guys found a road today. It’s in the southern boundary, past the ridge. Hasn’t been used in at least five years. We’re going out tonight to take a look.” Something changed in her face. Not surprise exactly, it was more like recognition. “The road of thorns,” she said. I went still. “What did you just say?” “That’s what it’s called.” She said it simply, like she was telling me the sky was grey. “That’s what people who actually knew it called it. The thorns grow over the markers in the wet season. They come back every year.”

Three years after my release from prison, I ran into my ex-wife in the presidential suite of the most exclusive hotel in Bayshore. It had been years since I last saw her. She was draped in a silk robe, radiating wealth. When she recognized me, something unreadable passed through Cecily Monroe's eyes. "On the day you got out, why didn't you wait for me to come pick you up?" I said nothing and handed over the takeout. Her gaze dropped to the scar on my wrist, and her breath caught. "I went too far with that. But you've always been tougher than Adrian. You can always get back on your feet." She was talking about what happened six years ago, when Adrian Burke was involved in a catastrophic

Hearing that, Edward Crayon quickly gestured for the driver to get the hell out of that place before another car got to their back and the driver immediately did as he was asked and drove the car backward before finding a way to have a u-turn and drove away from the road that was undone. The new road was lonely and free. There were not more than two cars on the road and they were moving past them. There were only trees and trees on the side of the road, beautiful trees and plants. The lonely road felt long as Edward Crayon returned his gaze to the newspaper that he was reading. “How many minutes would it take for us to get home?” he asked the driver. “Thirty minutes remaining.” Thirty minute

"I mean have you seen any canal or any water channel near....and you might have fallen in that after which you got your trauma or those nightmares." "It's on Millus road." I replied and she started looking at Ethan. Everyone fell silent. "Millus Road?" Dr. Sophia repeated after me. "Are you sure?" She asked and I nodded. "I'm 100% sure Dr.," I reassured her. "I can't forget that place where my life was changed or you can say stopped. I never moved on. Millus is the longest road without any turn or stop. So it's impossible to find a river near that road. I fell silent. I have no other thing to say or ask. She looked at me for some time and wrote something on the medical sheet.

in bed. An hour later the city gave way to dusty two-lane roads lined with scrub brush. A hand-painted sign on the side of the highway caught my eye: RIVERBEND BIKE RALLY – 2 MILES. Music thumped in the distance, deep bass and the roar of engines. I almost kept driving. But something in my chest flipped,a reckless little spark I hadn’t felt in years. I turned.

The roof of the subterranean transit line caved in on itself with a deafening groan, bringing thousands of tons of upper roadway down into the inferno, burying the trapped vehicles and remaining drivers in a tomb of crushed stone and fire. Inside the cabin, Betony didn't look back in the rearview mirror. Her knuckles were pale on the steering wheel, her dark gown wet at the hem from the damp pedals, her eyes fixed entirely on the winding mountain road ahead. Zaid reloaded his sidearm, his hazel eyes scanning the sky outside. "Take the private access road on the left! It bypasses the lower district entirely!" For ten agonizing minutes, Betony drove with furious, lethal speed.

"All honor, all glory, and all power to You, O Holy Father, as I worship You with Precious Jesus Christ, our Saviour, and the Holy Spirit, whom we wait for the fire to consume since You, our God, are a consuming fire with a coal to purge our wickedness and filthiness through the cross of Jesus Christ, Amen, Alleluia!” Finally, Nancy proclaims while singing as she gradually drifts off to sleep. Nancy is having a good time that night when suddenly a terrible scene appears in the background. "What's the problem? This has previously happened before!” As she moves along the unknown path, Nancy utters. The road is made of concrete, is painted white, is clean, long, and narrow, and only has room fo

With trembling hands, I tried to touch the stain, but everything before my eyes blurred more and more. In the end, I passed out.

A condemned road of all normal roads that exists in the city. Stacy eyed me again before saying, “I wasn’t the one who told you.” Oh Stacy, you wouldn’t have to make me promise twice. ~ Minutes later, I was behind the wheel of my new car, hands trembling on the steering as I followed the path Stacy had mapped out for me. My heart pounded with every mile. The headlights cut through trees that grew denser the further I drove. The road turned jagged, narrowing endlessly, the kind of path cars weren’t meant to handle. I knew I couldn’t drive further without risking everything.
