The Next Day

Rose's hands were shaking so badly, she could barely drive. The road to Ansal hill seemed darker and spookier than usual. She swerved, thinking she saw something darting out in front of her car, but when she glanced in her rearview mirror, there was nothing.

------CURRENT TIME-----

Telling your mom that you are going to sleepover at a friend's house when you are actually going to a closed factory seems like an actual dare. Probably not everyone can do it until you have some friends who could cover you up within a single text message. She looked at her wristwatch, 9:41 pm. It was still a 10-minute drive, keeping her foot on the race accelerator, she started to speed up.
