Home Part: 2

Frustrated, I decided to drive straight. “Fine l’Il take a different exit then.” | mumbled under my breath. As I drove past it, I glanced back towards my GPS, the horror of what I was seeing sent chills up and down my spine. The empty space was filled with nothing but the words, sixteen-B. “Is this a sick joke!” I yelled into dead air. Taking my eyes off the dumb GPS, I settled onto the fact that it was obviously malfunctioning.

With my eyes transfixed on the road ahead, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. There is no way in the world that this is real! In disbelief, I passed countless exits that continue to say sixteen-B. Looking in the review mirror, I saw the exits on the other side of the highway, which they too, said exit sixteen-B.

Slamming on the breaks and cursing profusely, I was glad I had purchased a map. Reaching over, I fumbled blindly within the compartment, pulling out items and placing them back in until I finally grabbed the map. My eyes desperately studied the map, trying to find away out of this sink hole I was in. There had to be an explanation…. Something! but this…..this……I dropped the map in horror, nothing but sixteen-B was plastered repeatedly on every single exit, on every single route. There was nothing that could help me make sense of this situation. Hearing her stir behind me, I glanced up into my review mirror.

“Wh-where am I…” she looked at me, fear and confusion etched across her face. “…..Wh-who are you?” She cried.
