The lights on the road were off, leaving her in near-total darkness. She had attempted to cross the main road earlier but when she was pushed, she fell into another side of the road-a forgotten, shadowy stretch running parallel to the bustling street. Unlike the main road, this one was abandoned, its cracked asphalt cloaked in darkness. The streetlights didn't reach here, leaving the area eerily dim, and the vehicles that ever passed through were large rumbling trucks.

The road ahead was empty, winding through dense woods that seemed to close in around them. Lillian and Samuel had fallen asleep in the backseat, their small faces pressed against the windows, lost in dreams that Claire hoped were far away from the nightmare they were living.
