I went back to the car and turned on the radio, I really didnt know what was with all those people. As if they didnt have anything better to do than sit around and gossip about something that isnt true. Then something eerie happened, everyone that was just in the diner walked out of it. They had expressionless faces and walked straight to their cars, they didnt even glance around. I got out of the car and went back into the diner, I left my radio on this station that played Jaws music, it was kinda freaky. I walked in and only saw one person, the women behind the counter. She was looking over me, and around me, at the person behind me. I turned around and came face to face with my favorite person, Mort Rainey. I didnt react badly or anything, I didnt go all wide eyed and scared. I just smiled and greeted him.

'Hello Mr. Rainey, hows it goin?'

He was kinda startled, I think he expected me to run and hide, like some child afraid of the boogey man. He just stared at me, until he came back to the real world and repsonded.

'Um....pretty good, but if you'll exuse me, my arm is getting numb.'

He had a armfull of stuff, basically Moutain Dew and Dorito's. He plunked it down on the counter as the women stood there with her hands on her hips.

'You know what the officer said Mr. Rainey, your gonna have to shop somewhere else.'

I gave her a dirty look, what the hell was wrong with these people? My blood started to boil, I hated when people were treated badly. Mort was about to pick all of his stuff up and put it back when I placed a hand over his, making him stop. I looked at the women and pointed my finger at her.

'You Miss Pig, are a bitch.'

She backed away from me and Mort and leaned against the shelving unit. Her eyes were wide, partly with disgust, and partly with fear. I was tapping my foot and looking at her with a sneer.

'So Miss, are you gonna ring this in or not?'

She came towards the counter slowly and kept her eyes on me. She was probably afraid I'd slit her throat open or something, I probably would too. After all of the stuff had been put in bags and handed to Mort, I decided he would be the best person to get directions from.

'Mr. Rainey? Um...well, could I follow you to your house. I got a cabin not far away froms yours and I cant get directions.'

His face was beaming for some odd reason, he looked really happy. Like he just concered some fear or something.

'Of course, I mean how could I not? I have to repay you for what you did. You can come in my car if you want, and then I can bring you back to get your car tomorrow.'

I nodded and yawned, it had been a long tiring day. Even if I had to sleep on the floor in my new house, at least I'd be sleeping somewhere. We both got into his Jeep and he turned to me.

'I hope you know, that you've earned a bad reputation in this town already.'

Eh, I dont really care. I'm out in the woods anyway, who needs a social life? I'd be happy living in the middle of nowhere, right smack dab in the middle of a big forest.

'Well we should probably get going, before the Jeep starts to rot.'

Across the road there was a path that led into the dark forest, we drove towards it, and got swallowed up by darkness.
