Creative Writing: Brandon's Cabin

Brandon had been driving for about 6 hours when he started hearing the banging sounds coming from his engine. It sounded like someone was slamming a wrench into the inside of his hood. He hoped it wasn’t anything serious, but it was hard not to worry. He was a couple miles into the forest no when a large bang followed by a couple of puffing noises came from his engine, his slowed to a halt as Brandon turned to the side of the road. He popped his trunk and a cloud of smoke emerged. “That’s not good” Brandon said, letting out a loud sigh.

He couldn’t remember where he saw this man, but he knew he had seen him before. He flipped through the rest of it and the last page made him drop the book. He was terrified, the last picture in the book was of him. It looked like it had been taken as he was looking for help in the woods. Brandon had had enough and started frantically looking for a way out of the cabin. He noticed that the rug in the room he was in was also not covered in dust. He moved it to the side and under where it had been was a hatch. Brandon swung open the hatch and it revealed a tunnel. It looked like an old mineshaft. He grabbed the candle off of the wall and dropped into the tunnel. He decided to follow it as all the other doors in the cabin were locked and too sturdy to
