But when only one of the husbands returns he has only one word of advice…GO! Almost two hours later the women fear the worst and the pounding on the window alarms them until they see a familiar face.
There is no other choice but for the men to venture for help. It’s freezing, the middle of nowhere and the group is stalled on the side of the ice and snow covered road. Soon, but not soon enough, they find themselves running out of gas. THEY is a short story about two married couples traveling through a blizzard. I would recommend if you are looking for a good and very short read. It was written in a way that makes you feel like you were actually in the car with them, waiting for their husbands to return. I was going to give this short story three stars, but last night I had a nightmare because of it so it gets four starts. The two men leave their wives behind to see if they can reach it on foot, but only one returns. When the car finally dies, the driver says he spots a gas station, but no one believes him. The tension grows as the gas tank empties and there is no gas station in sight. Not only are they driving at night, but they are also driving in a blizzard. As much as the women in the back seat want the driver to turn around, he is hopeful and figures that they will run into the next town’s gas station. Two married couples end up on a one way road and no sense of direction. This is a short story that actually had me interested in what was going to happen next. I simply was not ready for this little gem to be over.Ī strong four stars. In fact, a continuation might be good as well. Why no five? Because it's to short! This really should have been a Novella.
There is a bit of gore and I know I do not like the terror really is psychological and reads like a Stephen King short story. Will they have to survive the elements for the night? Well they are four adults.maybe they can do it but what if they can get help from outside?īut what if what is out side is a thousand times worse than what is inside? I adored it.įour people in a car on the way to paradise when their truck breaks down,in a snow storm. Wow! This little story is popping with atmosphere and is like reading someone's worst nightmare. "They knew they faced the open arms of insanity outside the warmth of the truck."
