The Ghost Strip/Leaving Arnold Behind
From Create Your Own Story
"It's best if we just keep moving," you say. "I hate to say it, but you're probably right," John replies. "Good," Martin says. "We're finally rid of that little prick." Angry at what Martin has just said, you can't take it anymore. "YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU CAN GO TO HELL AND DIE FOR ALL I CARE," you scream at him. "HE ISN'T EVEN HERE, COULD POSSIBLY BE IN DANGER AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS BADMOUTHING HIM." Martin also angry turns around and starts walking away. "Fine then," he says back. "That's where I'll be." Martin continues walking away slowly and eventually disappears down the highway. "You really shouldn't have said that to him," John says to you. "Serves him right," you reply. "He had it coming. Lets go." As you start walking, Jeff gets your attention. "We should be stickin' together," he says. "Y'all never know what might happen in this here brush." Turning to face him, you say, "He's probably heading back to the van and then down to I-90 on what's left of the gravel road." Ashley walks up closer to you. "I think you did the right thing," she whispers in your ear. "Thanks," you mutter back. Walking further up the highway, there isn't much to see besides the occasional decaying road markers and a small shack every now and then. After a few hours of walking, the four of you approach the outskirts of Rainier Gap. "Whew," Jeff exclaims. "Smells like a darn polecat." Sure enough, there is a half eaten dead skunk lying on the road. "Seems nature doesn't have much of a problem here," you say. Walking into town, there is a small food store. Not having anything to eat since breakfast two days ago, everyone is starving.
