The Lightning: The Locust Hill Horror Series 1

Another short horror story by June Driver, this in the LOCUST HILL series. Think "The Ring", meets a ghost town. * * * Nobody really ever passes through there. No reason to. I'm not sure if anyone even lives in that town. There's a gas station, though, at the corner of the main innersection. And I've been told that sometimes there's a feller workin inside. But I never seen him. The county or some such went and put up bunch of speed bumps on the main road goin through. No reason to. No one ever really passed through. And then after they did that, I heard stories o' young punks who knew where the place was playin games of tryin to speed through, over the bumps. Like some kinda damn ride. And the challenge was to go fast and not stop and to go all the way through, and not get stuck in middle of that town. Because many know that's a town you don't wanna get stuck. The kinda place if you're not from around those parts, and you happen to come upon it, you'll never come upon it again after that. Because it's not on any map, far as I know. And it only exists for some. This is Locust Hill. * * * June Driver is a horror writer in West Virginia who lives in a cabin in the woods with her cat Mexie. She (June) likes to sleep during the day like her cat, and write at night, with no sounds but those of the wind in the trees outside her window and insects at her front screen.
