Novel Road Novels & Stories

I quickly darted around the vacant parting lot trying to see if there were any cars around. After scanning the area I found one, and made a beeline towards it, while also keeping an eye out for anyone who could possibly give me any grief, and when I thought the coast was clear, I ripped off the shirt I was wearing, wrapped it around my hand, and threw all my strength into the window, smashing it to bits, and then I shook out my shirt the best I could, and threw it over me as I hastily reached in, unlocked the door and hopped in, finding my way with the wires to start it, and the long drive that loomed for me ahead. Driving towards the mansion wasn't really the issue; it was the winding backr

“Oh really? Wonderful place to work.” “Thanks,” Dev smiled. “I work at Arson Smith by the way,” the balding man stated proudly. “I see! I have a friend who works there.” “Really? Which department?” “Engineering. Gaurav Saran.” “I know him! He’s your friend!” “Batch mates from college,” Dev answered. Gradually, the train picked up speed and chugged through a decent suburb lined with identical duplex houses on either side. Two rail tracks ran parallel in between. Dev began to enjoy the ride. He was thrilled to stand at the door, to have the wind slap through his hair and clothes while feasting on the sights outside.

I only had a year to find my answers, no distractions was a good way to start. "Venus, honey, are you ready?" My mom called me from the kitchen, as I opened my bedroom door. "Yes, mom be right there." I called back. Walking towards the kitchen, I was singing Famous Last Words out loud. "I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone, honey if you stay I'll be forgiven, Nothing you can say can stop me going home. Can you see my eyes are shining bright? Cause I'm out here on the other side of a jet black hotel mirror and I'm so weak..."

One insisted none of this would've happened if they'd never let wolves inside. Rynese looked personally offended. "I'd like the record to show," he muttered, "that we arrived after things started disappearing." Nobody acknowledged him. Kael stepped toward the map that was spread across the table. "The road." One of the elders nodded. "It isn't on any map." "No, it is now." A younger scholar carefully unrolled a fresh parchment. Sure enough... A narrow stone road appeared overnight. It was across the north from the city before vanishing into a section of the mountains that had previously been marked as impassable.

The Road That Led Only One Way Daniel remained by the window for several long seconds after speaking, his hand still holding the edge of the curtain as though letting it fall would somehow make the sight outside less real, while the low growl of engines continued rolling through the forest with increasing intensity until it became impossible to distinguish one vehicle from another because the entire mountain road had transformed into an unbroken procession of headlights weaving between the snow-covered trees, advancing with the quiet confidence of people who knew exactly where they were going and fully expected to find what they had come for.

Susan's POV I've been stuck on this lonely road for God knows how long, and I still haven't found a cab heading home. Everything is just working against me lately. This road is notorious for being very busy on days like this. But today, it's empty and quiet like a cemetery. It's as though Paul paid all the cab drivers to frustrate my life this morning. I can't stop glancing through every corner of the street to keep myself safe. I've heard crazy stories about this particular road in the past.

I had cut myself off from my past and was heading toward a future that belonged solely to me. The cell signal on the ship got progressively weaker. After settling my work arrangements, I sat on the deck and quietly looked through the manual I had downloaded on my phone. The manual detailed how to repair a broken bracelet. My body trembled lightly as the ocean breeze blew past. Suddenly, a person blocked out the sun that was shining overhead, casting a long shadow over me. I lifted my head to meet eyes with someone who I hadn't seen in a long time—Caleb Manzana, a senior who attended the same school as me.

He was still standing there, like a silhouette in the distance, slowly fading into the fog. Some people were only meant to accompany you for a part of your journey, and our path together had long since come to an end. Now, being at peace and well was the best ending for us both. I turned forward, closed the car window, and looked ahead, my heart calm. The fog gradually lifted, sunlight spilling gently, and I knew this was the start of a new beginning.

“Then we stop following the road.” She veers onto an even narrower trail, filled with mud, concrete and grass. One of the pursuers disappears behind, until only one remains visible. I want to believe that we can handle them. That hope lasts exactly eight seconds. The explosion rips through the trees ahead. Fire spreads through the roadway as a motorcycle cartwheels into our path, fuel igniting in a wall of orange. I slam the brakes, and Nova skids sideways, somehow keeping control as the burning wreck spins across both lanes. Heat blasts my face shield, and I turn back just in time to see the pursuing engines vanish.

Nova I sat on the bench outside my room with my collection of drinks to stick in the little refrigerator inside my room lying beside me and lit another cigarette. I was a complete mess. I wanted to call and make sure Brodie was looking out for my family, but I didn't want to listen to my family try to talk me into coming back home. This was Brodie, though, so I knew he would make sure they were safe.
