It was a warm summer Sunday as Kane drove his pickup truck through backwoods Tennessee. The 3 hour drive was long and boring but Kane promised that he would make this trip. He had been promising himself this trip for a few years now, but never actually had the courage to do it, but this time, he was going and the devil himself couldn't stop him. Kane kept his eyes on the road, listening to the radio. Ozzy Ozbourne's Momma I'm Coming Home came on through his speakers. Kane laughed at the irony and shut it off. He looked at his surroundings as he drove on, nothing but fields and trees for miles. A few gritty looking gas stations here and there, but nothing else. Kane started to wonder if he was going the right way, so he stopped at one of the gas stations to fill up on gas and to see if he was close to his destination, After filling up his tank on gas, Kane walked into the gas station. It looked like something out of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. The little building was dark, dusty and smelled a little funny, the shelves were barely stocked, and the air conditioner was obviously broken.
" Don't see many people around here." the old man behind the counter said smiling a toothless grin. " It will be $50.83 for the gas ." He told Kane.
Kane handed the money to the man as he rang it up and put it into the cash register.
"So, where you headed? A man come out here in the middle of nowhere and buys 50 dollars worth of gas he has to be headed somewhere." The man stated.
God, Kane hated how nosey people could be.
" I'm going to Oakville, hey am I going the right direction?"
"you sure are. Just go down that road for another 20 miles or so and that should put you right there. Small town though, so be careful that you don't drive right on through." The man replied pointing in the direction of the road.
Kane thanked him and went on his way. He was almost there, and thank God for small favors, because Kane was getting fidgety from sitting in his truck for so long. After about 20 minutes Kane came upon a sign that said " Welcome To Oakville" he sighed in relief, he was finally there. The town was a normal country town , small with one main road going through it. There was a little general store, a school building, a few churches, and a city hall. But most of the area was covered in residential homes. Kane drove down North Bowing street, seeing a few children playing out in front of their house. He smiled, life seemed so peaceful and cheery out here. But it didn't seem that way for long. Kane had found what he had came all the way out there to see. At the corner of North Bowing and Davidson was the ruins of a house, his childhood home, with the evidence of the fire still haunting its blackened walls.
