Reservoir
"I say we eat."
We ate one of the park's restaurants. We decided to split an order of fries, burgers, and ice-cream.
"Do you like the park?" Jesse asked us after we were done. We all nodded.
He brought up a good point. "Do you like the park a lot, or just this ride and this ride?"
I shrugged. I liked the park. It was just a place to go with lots of people. We all agreed that it was just a fun place to go.
We spent the rest of the day in the park. We rode all the rides that we wanted to.
We went to see some shows at the stage to end the day off. We all took a seat. I sat with Jesse, Priyan, and Rex. We watched the show in silence. It was nice. We just enjoyed the show. I had gotten pretty tired from watching the show. I fell asleep on Jesse's shoulder.
Everything goes dark, there is nothing to see. I try to feel around for something, but to no avail. I never was able to feel for my eyes. I don't know what happened to me. All I know is, I have to keep running. I don't know why, but I have to keep running. Surely, I will find out the truth if I do. I just need to keep running. My body grows weak, but I have to keep going. I'm tired, and I'm hungry. I can't stop to rest. I just have to keep going.
I hear a soft lullaby. I start to feel sleepy. The lullaby makes me feel sleepy. I want to... rest. I want to... stop running. But I can't. I must keep going. I must find out what really happened. The voice singing sounds familiar. It sounds like...
I wake up. It was only a dream. I'm still at Southwest Adventures, watching shows at the stage. I rub my eyes, recollecting myself back into reality.
"Hey, you're awake." Jesse says,
"Yea, I was just... having a dream." I replied.
"What was it about?" He asked.
I thought about it for a second. "I don't know. It was so long ago. I just remember that I had to keep running." I said.
"Well, the shows are over. You ready to go home?" Jesse asked.
"You bet." I replied.
We all got up and left the park.
We were just a few miles outside of Echo.
"So... about that dream..." Jesse asked
I looked at him, "Best you don't ask about it. I don't have an answer."
Jesse nodded, and the conversation ended. I looked out the window at the bland, desert scenery. I looked out the window at the bland, desert scenery. My vision slowed down, and I saw a car, stuck in a ditch. It was red.
"Hey guys, I just saw a car stuck in a ditch."
Everyone turned to look.
"Oh." Rex said
"I think we should help whoever's in there."
Everyone agreed. Jesse pulled over and parked his truck. We all got out and ran over to the stranded car. The closer we got to the car, the more detail we notice to the accident. There was a larged bloodstain on the driver's seat window.
The engine was run down, and it looked like the car had been here a while.
"What do you think happened?" Priyan asked.
"I'm thinking the car was in the ditch for a while, and nobody wanted to help until we showed up." I said. Rex opened the door to the car and looked inside "Hello! Are you okay!"
What we found, was much worse than we thought. It was a coyote, not just any coyote, but my boss for the local paper. He was dead. In his paw, was a small handgun that looked already used. All of us just stood in shock, unable to take in what we were seeing at that moment. Jesse took out his phone to call the police about what might've happened.
"We should probably get back to the motel." Priyan said
"Yeah. I'll deal with this one." Jesse said
Priyan and Rex began walking back to the motel by foot. I stood still, thinking about whether I should help Rex and Priyan get back to the motel, or stay with Jesse and talk to the police with him.
