Well that was a creepy start. Then end felt a bit rushed—I’m guessing due to the character limit. Lots of questions raised, in a good, good way.

Yeah, I had to hack-n-slash it multiple times over to make it fit.

Story inspired by an actual driveway to nowhere I pass every day on my way to work.

I enjoy that this is inspired by a real driveway. Like THX says, very intriguing semantics and subjects that leave us questioning. I hope to see a sequel!

A lot of my story inspirations come from fairly innocuous places in my life. My brain just likes to spin “What if” scenarios. :)

Keep spinning those “If” scenarious Jime! Cool covers a small part of this pieces possibilites! Glowing eyes….

Looking forward to seeing what you make of it, Jim, or is it open to hacks who want to try a hand?

Every day I pass a vast grassy lot that used to be a Delco battery factory. It is enclosed by chain link fences, and the drive stops at a metal gate. Just beyond the gate is a rusty, cantilevered mailbox.

All my stories here are open to anyone who wants to sequel.

I like the idea it’s based on a real place. That and the sale/pact made in blood…

Heh, yeah, that driveway always bugs me because it looks like there should be a destination at the end of it, and yet — nuthin’. Always makes me wonder what project never got finished.

This was stellar you really knocked it out of the pact, and to thx if it sounds rushed,see rule number seven in the devil’s operation guide on stealing souls. Always get the deal even if use of flying hypodermic needle is needed for the signature. hehe nice work jim.

Somehow I missed your comment, Joe. Thanks for stopping by!
