Caster had been traveling for hours on the desolate highway, the rain pouring down in sheets, causing his visibility to be practically nonexistent. He had been driving for what felt like an eternity, the only source of light being the headlights of his car cutting through the darkness. Exhausted and in need of a place to rest, he finally spotted a run-down motel on the side of the road.
Pulling into the parking lot, Caster noticed that the motel seemed to be in a state of disrepair. The neon sign flickered ominously, casting an eerie glow over the surrounding area. Ignoring his unease, Caster grabbed his bag from the back seat and made his way towards the entrance.As he walked through the dimly lit vestibule, a sense of foreboding washed over him. The air was thick with the smell of mildew and decay, sending shivers down his spine. And that's when he saw it—a small bear cub sitting in the corner, its eyes staring back at him with a mixture of curiosity and hunger.Panic surged through Caster as he quickly turned and ran for Room 4, hoping to find safety behind the closed door. But as he entered the room, his heart sank. Inside, a massive mama bear stood between him and the exit, growling menacingly as she eyed him up and down.With no other choice, Caster made a split-second decision and scrambled towards the window. With a burst of adrenaline, he managed to pry it open just enough to squeeze through, climbing out onto the roof of the motel.
As he caught his breath, Caster realized he was trapped. The rain poured down on him, soaking him to the bone as he searched for a way out. That's when he noticed a series of pipes leading down to the ground below.Without hesitating, Caster began to climb down, his hands and feet slipping on the wet metal as he descended. Finally reaching the ground, he sprinted towards the front office, desperate for help.Breathless and soaking wet, Caster burst into the office, frantically explaining what he had seen. But the staff simply stared at him in disbelief, shaking their heads at his wild tale.Determined to prove himself, Caster quickly made his way to room 2, praying that his encounter with the bears had been nothing more than a nightmare. But as he opened the door, his worst fears were confirmed—the bears were back, waiting for him with hungry eyes.Thinking quickly, Caster grabbed a nearby object and managed to knock out the bear cub, buying himself enough time to escape once more. As he ran towards the nearest gas station, he called for help, hoping that someone would believe his harrowing tale of survival.
But as he waited for the authorities to arrive, Caster couldn't shake the feeling that the bears were still out there, watching and waiting for their next victim. And as the rain continued to fall, he knew that his night was far from over.
