A Silent Drive Down a Lonely Road: Mystery Unfolds in the Quiet Forest (2 of 2)

At that moment, the back door on the passenger side cracked open just slightly. In one swift motion, a dark object — a black garbage bag — was carefully tossed out onto the side of the road. It landed with a soft thud, nestled quietly among the scattered gravel and dry leaves.

Without missing a beat, the sedan accelerated suddenly, its tires kicking up a cloud of dust and small stones as it sped away, disappearing swiftly around a sharp bend.

The sudden burst of movement shattered the calm silence, leaving only the echo of gravel skittering across the pavement. In the wake of the car’s departure, the forest seemed to hold its breath once more, returning to its quiet vigil as the fading light gave way to the deepening night.

The driver sat still for a moment, eyes fixed on the spot where the black bag had landed. The peaceful drive had taken an unexpected turn, and the weight of the unknown settled heavily in the air.

Yet, the night pressed on, the road stretching ahead into the darkness, winding through the forest as if inviting whatever would come next.
