This is something I wrote in 2008. It is a true story, it happened in Scottsboro Alabama.
I once made
a wrong turn and ended up at the end of a long narrow road with nowhere to go
except through a guarded gate at some kind of industrial complex. No problem
I’m thinking I’ll just get directions from the guard and get him to let me
enter the complex where there is room to turn the rig around.
As I
approach the guard shack I notice that the outside of it is covered with dead
bugs which I guess had been attached to the shacks lights. Even the ground is
covered with dead bugs and there are no footprints or any indication of human
activity. The bugs crunched under my feet as I approached the guard shack, it’s
getting spooky now. Inside the guard was dead.
Well he looked dead actually he was the most realistic dummy I’ve ever seen, It was so freaky I didn’t even think of getting his picture; I wish I had as evidence that this is a true story. Retreating back to the rig I drove through the gate to turn around, no alarms went off, nobody appeared to see what I was doing inside the complex, the whole place seemed abandoned, there was not a soul around. We didn’t linger, just turned the rig around and got out of there.
