The Road to Milky Way Mountain

"Are you sure we're on the right road?" Bobby asked when the trees started looking dead and lifeless.

"Yes, dear, I'm sure," Alice replied as she kept her eyes on the road. Seeing the trees though she started to have doubts.

"Check the GPS please. I think we made the wrong turn. I don't remember trees looking dead and lifeless on our trips to Milky Way Mountain," Dillon said concerned as the scenery looked dead and lifeless. Suddenly a dead end sign appeared up ahead.

"What now? A dead end? That can't be right. I swear I've made the right turn. I wanted to avoid the toll road up ahead," Alice burst out and slowed down and was going to make a u-turn at the next intersection when the GPS turned on.

"Turn left at Willows Road." So Alice turned left.

"Well, we're heading to the toll road. I remember the toll road many times. You shouldn't have dodged it. It's the only way. The best route," Dillon scowled before leaning over and giving Alice a kiss on the cheek.

"Yes, dear. Next time I'll take the toll road. I've learned my lesson. Wait, is that a deer?" Alice slammed on the brakes just in time for a deer to cross the road.

"Yes, that was. Luckily we avoided hitting it. I'm surprised to see wildlife in this deserted place. Now, back to the road to Milky Way Mountain, shall we?" Dillon realized he was gripping air only.
