“It’s cute,” Susie said. “Let’s see if they have cold drinks.” She got out of the car, heading towards the door. Sam followed.
“Can I help ya?” the old man asked from behind the counter. Nodded them towards the refrigerated case.
As they debated choices, the old man walked up behind them, splitting both their heads open with his ax.
“Looks neat,” Kimmy said, heading towards the Trading Post door, husband following behind.
“Can we help you? asked the young couple behind the counter.
“Cold drink?”
What is it about the prompt that’s lead so many people to horror? Nicely done

Thanks! I think it’s because it’s old and deserted and just feels like a place to scare the crap out of somebody.

Yep, a lot of murder and mystery on route 66! Kudos for being first to have an ax as weapon of choice 🙂 Nice work.

Dear Connie,
That old man isn’t doing well with sales. I would think murder is bad for business. Yikes. Run!
Shalom,

With unassuming places and people, beware of that underlying dark side:)
