On a Dirt Road
I was coming home from a friend’s house at around 10 PM one night, and I didn’t want my parents to get mad at me for missing curfew, so I decided to take a shortcut at a dirt road that didn’t have any lights.
At some point, I saw white, yellow, and red lights coming from within a portion of trees at the side of the road. I stopped the car, believing that someone may have crashed their car and be in need of help.
I opened the car door and stood outside to look for any movement. “HELLO?” I shouted. I was about to go investigate…but then I heard someone running and glass shattering very close to me. I got into the car and drove away as fast as I could, and when I looked back, the seat was full of glass pieces and a rock. Someone had broken my back window!
I got scolded by my parents for my decision to take the dirt road, which was notorious for hijacking. I wonder what would have happened to me if I had fallen for the bait?
