The Great Silence

We took a midday walk from the house to Eagle Canyon and out to Pyramid Highway. It’s something I’ve never done before, but the dog and I needed the exercise.

We got down to Pyramid, turning south, heading for Robert Banks Blvd. Shortly after making the corner, walking about ten minutes, I noticed something strange; no vehicles on Pyramid.

The more I thought about it and the longer there were no cars, trucks, or motorcycles, the more I became spooked. Instead of completing our intended route, we cut across the open field towards Eagle Canyon.

Within two minutes, automobiles were everywhere. I’m still a little freaked over it because while I like to write horror stories, I hate living them.
