Twenty-Two
It's been a long, long way to Funkley.
but finally we're there.
well...almost. The GPS tells me we're 5 miles away from the creepy town.
Shawn is sleeping in the seat next to me. We skipped Minneapolis, and we drove straight to Funkley. we both drove a few hours, so we had some time to sleep.
We are driving in the middle of nowhere, there's landscape only. The last town was 20 miles ago.
It seems all dead. It's very unlikely that all the released clients are here. I mean, no one wants to be here.
the car is coming closer to a white sign, with the name of the creepy town on it.
Welcome in..Funkley ' it says, with a population count under it. It is still on eleven.
"are you ready to discover the dark secrets of Funkley?" I ask Shawn, who just woke up.
"definitely" He nods sleepy with a morning voice. his hair is all messy and his eyes are narrowed because of the bright sunlight.
When the car passed the sign, I look for some buildings. I only spot one building. it's small. It's an apartment building, but with only one level. the other levels are damaged. the walls are broken, and there's nothing inside.
I park the car on the grass, and open the door. "let's do it" I mumble, as I stretch my leg while stepping out of the vehicle.
I make sure to lock the car when Shawn also stepped out. I must admit..he looks adorable with the sleepy expression.
I hand over the opened can of RedBull and I let him take a sip. Shawn and I became closer on the trip. he started to talk more, and he sounded like a normal person. not just someone who is a psycho.
the apartment on the left is an cafe. I think it's abandoned, because I don't see anyone. The sign on the door says it's open, so I give a push against the door. and it's open..
maybe this place has some activity? I look around with shaky hands,as i push the door open more and more.
"Ma'am, can I help you?" A raspy old voice comes out of the back of the cafe. an old woman appears from under the bar. this place is weird..
she has a sweet attitude, but I don't trust her for a bit.
"yeah...uh I'd like to order a coffee" I make up, and look behind me, where Shawn is standing with a confused expression.
I whisper to him that he has to follow me, and i make my way to one of the old fashioned booths.
I sit down right next to him, not knowing what to expect. but after a silence the woman comes back with two cups of coffee.
She sits down on the opposite side of the booth, and grabs one of the cups.
"It's been a while, since I had customers" he smiles. something about her isn't right. she has this devil granny look in her eyes.
"I can imagine" Shawn chuckles, and I give him a playful slap on his leg, to let him know he has to act normal. "don't mind him" I add, and wait for the woman to say anything.
"So, what brings you two here?" she asks with a smile.
Shawn gives a little squeeze in my hand, probably because he has no clue what to say. "we are making a road trip" I say and try to smile as upright as possible.
"When was the last time you had a customer" I ask, trying to make conversation. "I don't know" she shrugs "a few months"
-
"I think we have to go" Shawn suddenly says. I look at him with a confused expression, but nod then.
I end the conversation with the old lady, and give her some cash for the coffee.
Shawn closes the door behind us and we walk to the next apartment. I don' see anyone. everything just seems abandoned.
It says there's a population of eleven, but I only saw one person, and that was the old lady.
the last apartment is different. the windows are covered by newspapers and there's an actual car parked next to the building. It gives me actual chills.
"we came for nothing" Shawn sighs.
