Sleep | A 100 Word Story

#749 - Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka

Needing to rest I pulled my car over to the side of the road and closed my eyes to sleep till first light. Then something fell on the roof of my car, startling me awake. Before I could turn on my car I saw a pair of red eyes in the darkness. Then another and another.

A rustling on the roof of my car made me look up and listen closely. Then I heard a scratching. Something trying to claw its way in.

Turn the key. A long shadow cast upon the road. Hit the gas and reversed into semi-truck.
