Arizona, California

"I'm counting down the states. Every time we cross a new border, another tally mark on my wrist. We've been traveling for days now. 27 states down, 23 to go...."

This short horror story, which is just under 650 words in length, details the experiences a husband and wife as they criss-cross the United States and finally come to the border between Arizona and California. Looking forward to the California beaches, they don't think twice to think up a hitchhiker, and that's when things start to get bad.

Happy reading!
