"Mom! Are we there yet?!"
I sigh to myself and keep my eyes on the road ahead. It was starting to get dark and tiresome on this long road trip and I just needed somewhere to rest my feet.
I turn on the radio to drown out the noise of my children.

"Jones Barbeque and Foot Massage! Jones Barbecue and Foot Massage!" A high voice echoed through the car from the radio.

What the heck? What was this?

"Mommy! I don't want to listen to this!" My five year old whines.
"Shh!" The rest of the commercial played on.

"Better come down here,get some of this shit! You like to eat, America likes to eat so why not open up somewhere where America can sit down and enjoy a good meal and foot rub?!"

The ad contained to play on the radio and my kids continued to whine as well. After some time the location pops up. It was in Illinois, just the next exit, how convenient!
As I continue down the dimly lit street, I find signs that point down the street to a spacious shack. I park the car and take a big breath.

I grab my children from the car and carry my little one year old Anna. Her older brothers ,Micheal and Jack follow us into the shack.

Awaiting us in the shack was a big round man. On the sides of him was a yellow chicken and a purple dinosaur, all with big smiles.

"Welcome to Jones barbecue and foot massage," the big man said "where you can enjoy a good meal and foot massage! Please have a seat!"

He extended his arm towards some vibrating chairs in the corner. Conveniently there were 3 regular sized chairs and a miniature one for Anna. Strange...,but convenient. I needed somewhere to rest my feet. He led us with his hand on my lower back to the chairs.

I took a sat on the farthest one from Anna and sat next to my 7 year old Michael.The big burly man handed all of us menus including Anna.

"Mommy!I want the nuggets!" My 7 year old screamed.
I glanced down at my menu. Only 7 dollars for 20 nuggets! What a steal!

"Oh, only 7 dollars for the 20 nuggets? What's in them?" I asked him.
He smiled down at me and replied with a soft voice.

"Don't worry your pretty little head, it's only our finest cuts."
"Oh, well we'll have the nuggets then." I handed him my card and he swiped it on his phone. After he handed it back to me with that same smile.

He went into the back with the dinosaur and chicken following behind him. The metal door slammed shut, making us all jump.

A while later the chicken and dinosaur came out. The chicken was carrying a big metal bucket and set it down in front of our feet. It smelled like bbq sauce.
The dinosaur began to massage Michael's feet as well as mine. The chicken taking care of Anna and jack.

10 minutes later
Jones came back out carrying a silver platter of nuggets. He smiled in my face and gracefully platted it onto my chairs little table thing. He then platted my children's food. We ate and the food tasted delicious! I felt like I was floating on air. I chewed and chewed,but......I felt something. I pulled something out of my mouth. Something long and furry.
"Ewww!" Jack said. "An acorn?" He questioned.
What was in our food?!
I look over to Jack but what catches my attention is my daughter. My daughter foaming at the mouth!

The chicken was rubbing her tiny feet slathering in the bbq sauce while she sat there unable to do anything.
I threw the furry tail across the room and yelled at Michael and Jack to get to the car. I jump up barefoot and slip and slid on the tiles. I pull the chicken off my baby by the head and throw it behind me.
I grab Anna and meet Jack and Micheal in my car.I strap Anna in her seat and before I can get in my seat I see jones standing in the shack's door.

"Please come again!" He yelled

I buckle my seat belt and drive off. Every few seconds I look back at Anna to make sure she's ok,but then Jack started foaming, then Michael!
Anna on the other hand had.....she had fainted?!

I put my eyes back in the road in search for the nearest hospital. I look in the rear view again and get a look at myself. I didn't feel the foam dripping down my chin.
Micheal and Jack were knocked out. I tired to keep driving,but sleep felt so nice. I needed to sleep. I rested my eyes and loosened my grip on the wheel. The honking and loud crash didn't even wake me.

Later on Jones took a trip down the road. He smiled down at what he saw,proud of his work. He took his usual black bag and shoved everything in. His comrades helped carry the black bag back to the Shack. When he arrived they all got to work. The skinned three of them and the dinosaur gutted them. After Jones ground them up and added them to the sauce. He saved the little one and plopped it into the deep fryer. He looked back satisfied at his work as he waited to serve it up to his next guests.

The next day there was a missing persons report on Anna,Jack,Micheal and their mother. They were never seen again........
