The road not taken looks real good now

- 'tis the damn season, Taylor Swift 

𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐄 was a social media star; being surrounded by the limelight all the time, she was starting to grow exhausted. So, when Jeremy recommended her to go on a wild 14-day trip where she wasn't told the destination, she took the chance. Taking just one of her phones - out of the countless many - she vowed to not worry about the mess she called her life to her bestfriend and accepted the offer. Not knowing where the cab was taking her, she head off. She didn't usually trust people with most things but she trusted Jer with her life and one thing she had learned over experience was that he never had let her down. But of course, there was a lingering question in her mind of where she was going and who her driver was, but she suppressed curiosity for a long time before she couldn't anymore. 

𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐉𝐈𝐎𝐍 wasn't one to open up. Not after he had lost the love of his life to another woman he never heard of and almost losing his bestfriend to cancer. He was tired, exhausted and done with tears and crying for her - he swore he was - but then why was he still writing pages? He was completely shattered and torn in pieces but he had promised Ivanna that he would do anything he was asked to do and she had given him a really odd job. A taxi cab drive. To a place he had never heard of in the middle of nowhere, not even on the GPS but written on an old map she always carried in her pocket. She claimed it was the last stop and she didn't know if she could make it. So, he did for her. He got in the cab, drove it and he had no idea where the map was leading him but he had nothing better to do. And that was a good distraction for his exhausted heart. 

Because fate worked in ways they would never understand and one thing they learned on that journey of a lifetime was that when you hit rock bottom, there was only one way to go and that was up.

𝖓𝖔𝖙𝖊 : This story idea has been taken from the prompt provided by the Open Novella Contest 2023. A clean draft will be tried to be drawn as far as possible but please bear in mind that deadlines are trying to met as well.

The prompt idea used for this is-

#9 - There's an urban legend that has been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you where you want to go but where you need to go. One night, you step into this cab. 

The genres utilized in this book are romance and adventure with a hint of paranormal element to it. It's one that I'm super excited about and ahhhhhh, I hope you enjoy this! <3
