That Little Girl
“Oh my god!” Sam says as he slams on his brakes. He had just nearly hit a young girl walking on the side of the road.
“I mean, I know I worked a long shift, but fuck, I’m awake now.”
Sam proceeded to get out of his truck, and make sure the girl was alright.
“Listen I am so sorry! I’m exhausted and I totally wasn’t looking where I was going.” Sam squealed, severely fast paced.
“Can you give me a ride home?” She said interrupting him.
Sam was hesitant but his heart broke seeing the small girl stranded in the middle of the night. She looked freezing, and her clothes were wet from the rainfall earlier that day.
“Sure thing, just tell me where to go.”
The two sat in silence, a silence that makes your ears start to ring.
“What we’re you doing out here anyways? It’s the middle of the night. A girl your age shouldn’t be out there alone.” Sam said.
“It’s over here on the right!” She shouted back at him.
He slowly creeped into the driveway. The place looked run down, and like it hadn’t been lived in, for what seemed like decades. But the lights were all on, so Sam thought nothing of it.
“Okay, well I have to say I’ve never met a young lady quite like you, good luck with everything.” He said, Sounding a bit confused.
“You should be grateful for that.” The little girl snapped at him.
She slammed the door. Sam watched her approach the house, in doing this, he noticed tall shadows, in each window of the house. All seemingly had red glowing eyes, that felt like they were reaching into his soul. Simultaneously, they start waving at him.
Sam put I’m the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway, never looking back.
