Mr. Nelson Pugh suffers from crippling anxiety, which is only exacerbated when he travels. So when on his latest business trip he receives an unusual series of calls from his wife, Eleanor, his anxiety gets the best of him. At first, giving in to his own self-doubt, he attempts to cast aside his growing fears as another episode of paranoid delusion. As the calls continue, however, Nelson can no longer be sure. Is he suffering from a panic attack or is his family in terrible danger? And if the danger is real, will anyone believe him when he can barely trust himself? Hundreds of miles away and with no hope of reaching his family, Mr. Nelson Pugh must uncover the truth before the mystery reveals itself with potentially horrific consequences. *** Highest Ranking - #155 in Horror (October 19, 2017) *** *** Highest Ranking - #37 in Terror (July 17th, 2020) *** *** Overall Winner - Mysterious Marvel's "WayPaver Pick's Awards" (December 2, 2017) *** *** 2nd Place - Horror - The Sunset Awards (October 7, 2017) *** *** 2nd Place - Horror - The Unity Awards *** *** 3rd Place - Horror - The Corona Awards ***

The man lives in a community far away from hers. As she travels with him through the wild lands between their villages, their van gets ambushed by Leo's gang.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
