Highway 99

Sarah was driving on Highway 99, a cursed road and an old folks tale in her old town. The legend goes that Highway 99 is cursed, the dark road stretches 5 close to 6 miles without any red lights no communities of people, and dark creepy woods on both sides. A lot of car wrecks have happened on Highway 99 because of the hex put on this road by witches who practice satanic rituals. There is also the legend about the boy who died on Highway 99 or the so-called town's children who would get caught running out and they all mysteriously died. It is believed in her old town that those dead children come with the power to possess people on Highway 99 and even use cursed powers to move people's cars and cause mysterious accidental deaths.

As Sarah is driving she keeps hearing whispers and seeing mysterious shadows thinking nothing of it she keeps driving. Beep! beep! She hears her car warning her that she's running out of gas soon. There is a cut-off for gas but that was about it on this creepy Highway. She sees the cut-off for gas and a dimly lit store she drives up to park the car and gets out to see nobody. She walks inside the store to see nobody, she calls out, "Hello" and no response. She walks out and sees a man outside the store which which is impossible for somebody to try and attempt to walk on Highway 99. She runs out of the store hollering, "Who are you?"

again she gets no response.

The store has light switches for gas so it is no need for someone to turn on the gas. She checks the gas and then returns back inside the store to find those gas switches. Sarah starts to hear whispers again getting louder and louder but still sees no one. She finds the switch for gas tank 5 and walks out of the store. The gas worked and her tank is now filled. It had been ten minutes and still no sign of the stranger or the man who was standing in all black outside the store.

Hitting the road now she still has an uneasy feeling so she turns on the radio to calm her nerves. The radio starts with the broadcaster saying, "Hello, hello, 1977, and the thriller, horror in town, two kids have just gone missing, and the children who were found get this! death looks cult practiced. Sarah starts to freak out thinking she's hearing things because it's 2024 and the radio broadcast is playing a tape of 1977 on an updated music station. She tries to shut off the radio but it doesn't work and it only continues loudly in the car. On Highway 99 is not a safe ride for the thriller in town and investigators for River Valley will do everything to stay on the suspenseful case.

Sarah is still frantic trying to turn off the radio which is supposed to be playing music. The radio cuts off and she hears the kids laughing on the road and her car starts rocking while she's driving. Sarah is scared and trying to get off Highway 99 as soon as possible she has like a mile left and no directions after that to guide her. She is scared and the voices are getting so loud saying, "Save and help us!" She finally hits the rocking post and sees two roads one going right and one going left. She takes the road left and sees the man, the correct man from the store standing in black.

He is now standing in the middle of the road, thinking it is a good sign to find help she gets out of the car. She says, "Hello, I think I'm lost, well I am lost, can you help, me? I have not seen one person for hours or miles driving on Highway 99 and it is been giving me the creeps...can you help me?" He is not responding to her at all instead he gets closer to her without saying anything and she gets scared and runs back into the car.

She turns around and tries to find her way back to the same intersection to see the right road and keeps driving on that creek road. Not knowing where she is going Sarah starts to cry and have a mental breakdown, she's lost and now she knows it. She hears the laughing come back and decides to pull over in a parking area at an abandoned store. That's when Sarah sees him, the same man, standing there again in all black. She starts breathing heavily and she tries to turn on the car headlights on him but he disappears. Scared she gets out of the car and screams "Who are you?" and she just stands there trying to calm down.

She gets back into her car and starts to cry again, scared she sees him again right there looking at her. This time the stranger was close to her car and still not saying anything. She gets out again, scared, and that's when she wakes up. She realized she had fallen asleep at the wheel and lost her train of thought. Sarah tries to start the car but it won't charge enough to start up.

She gets out and decides that maybe by walking she will have better luck. So she starts walking on Creek Road and notices she's being followed. Thinking that she has been seeing things and creating images in her mind for hours she shakes it off. Then she sees him again 2 miles down Creek Road she sees him. The same man the stranger, she starts crying saying, "No, please, wait." She then takes off in the opposite direction.

That is when Sarah is hit with an axe blade in her thigh as she screams out in pain she can barely stand. She starts to crawl crying and he starts walking towards her, scared, she starts crying saying, "No, please, wait, please wait." He is now hovering over her as she is losing too much blood she can't make out his face but it looks familiar. She says dazed, "Who, who are you?" he ignores her. Then she tries to put her hand up to stop him and he starts to slice her body.

Trying to get others not to hear them, everyone wondered what possessed Sarah to take the most haunted Highway and walk the roads late at night. "I think she was possessed," Hannah says. "But you wanna know something creepy," Maddie tells the friends in the group, "The same note she left in the car about the stranger who was following her, well, I saw a man similar near the Wilton Market store when I was going to get gas." "I am just saying maybe if she would have seen him she never would have taken that road" Maddie proclaims. "I don't believe he was even real like those spirits that haunt the road they are real," Derek says. Her group of friends believed that something sinisterly evil took Sarah's soul because she traveled on Highway 99.
