Passing Through

Chapter 1: Bumfuck, Nowhere

August 24th, 2017

"What the fuck happened, and where the hell are we?"

"I'm not sure James." You say with your hands over your face and both legs outside of the car. "but the car is not working and unless someone can look under the hood and let me know what it is, it's not looking good."

You look at your friends one by one, knowing that their knowledge was just as good as yours, which was absolutely nothing.

"Fine, I'll try." Maya says with false certainty and heads to the front of the hood and starts trying to pull it up. After several attempts Maya looks depleted "Well the first issue is the hood is jammed, Y/n did you run into something like a shrubbery or a small tree, maybe some twigs are jammed up in there?"

"No, there is a button to get it open, but unfortunately I don't know where it is cause I've never driven a fucking 69 Ford Mustang.... JAMES!"

"well excuse me for not picking a Nissan for the millionth time!" James says dramatically. "I was just spicing up your life, the Spice Girls would be proud."

"Yeah except, that's kinda your only job." says a tiny voice from the back until she reveals herself to the others with a sleep mask around her eyes "to get us cars and get ones that no one would be looking for."

"Jesus fucking Christ Sam!" James holding his hand to his chest "I thought you were sleeping."

"Well I was till y'all started yelling at each other." She said as she was sliding her mask off her face. "What's going on Y/N?"

"Well, other than James fucking sucking at his one job...."

"blow it outcha ass" James is heard saying under his breath.

You continue, "We are stuck in.... I think from the last sign I saw was Madison, West Virginia, population 2,758, and counting according to the graffiti."
"Well what should we do now?" says Sam still trying to wake up. "This is how horror movies start, a bunch of hot young people getting stranded in the middle of nowhere till we get killed one by one by either cannibals, vampires or worst......bigots."

"just those three, huh?"

"In Bumfuck, Hicktown fucking nowhere there is." James says.

"Well two of those are not even real Sam, and the other one you don't need to worry about cause you're a cute little white girl." Maya says as she gestures her hand up and down towards Sam.

"And straight." James says looking accusatory towards you.

"That was one time, and I did it so you fucking bitches could get free drinks that night, which your welcome by the way, never get thanks for seducing people for y'all."

"like we were twisting your arm that night." Maya says laughing

"well she was pretty cute, and least you didn't make me seduce that other bartender who was missing his front tooth." You shudder as you remember.

"Hey!" James jumps in "He got it knocked out during a hockey match earlier that day."

Everyone shouts something at James all at once and laughs, as James flicks everyone off.

Trying to get everyone back on track, "Ok, I say we get moving and see if we can find a place where we can maybe get info on an auto repair shop."

"I'm sorry did you just say we are walking; I must have heard you wrong." James said moving closer to you.

"I don't know, what about vampires?" Sam said

"This is not True Blood Sam, Bill and Eric are unfortunately not here." Maya says, "Can we start walking, please?"
