ROAD

A married couple Molly and David are driving along a generic 2-lane blacktop at night. 'House of the Rising Sun' The Animals plays on the radio.

"We're lost." Molly Says

"No. This is a short cut..." David Says

"Babe, it's just we've been on this road over an hour, and we haven't seen a single car." Molly

"Molly, I know how to read a frickin' map, okay?" David Asks

"We passed a gas station a while back. Let's just go ask someone." Molly Says

"That was 40 minutes ago. We're not turning around." David Says

"Come On. Isn't this argument a little archaic? Men can ask directions these days."Molly Says

"No, we can't. It's against our genetic code. Look, I know exactly where we are." David Says

"Oh, yeah? Where?" Molly Asks

"Highway 99, okay? It cuts right through..." David Says As they pass a sign that reads '41'

"Highway 99, huh?"Molly Says

"Okay, so we, we're taking the scenic route." David Says

"David. It's our anniversary, and we're spending it stuck in the car." Molly Says

"I know. I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you, okay? Come here." David Says he leans over, kissing at her neck playfully]

"Stop. I'm mad at you." Molly Says

"Oh, come on, Molly. Hey, you love me." David Says

"No, I don't. You're a jerk. David, I mean it." Molly Says As she pushes him off, taking her eyes off the road. A Man appears in the road before them.

"Molly!" David Says screaming, she swerves to avoid the man and runs the car off the road

later the car has crashed into a tree. Molly wakes up and looks around, disoriented.

"David? David?, she crawls out of the wreck,David? David?, he is nowhere to be seen, Da... David?!,she staggers through the woods, calling for him
David?! David?,she comes upon a cabin with a candle burning in the window, Hello? Is anyone here?,she enters, Hello?, she passes a wall covered in tools, then sees the Man from the road standing with his back to her
It's you. You're okay. I'm so sorry. his stomach, which she can't see and which is impaled and bloody
I didn't see you there. Are you... Are you hurt?
She reaches out to touch him, Sir?

He turns towards her, blood dripping down his face. His mouth opens, spilling more blood, and his face turns dark and rotting. She glances down and sees his stomach. She screams.
