The forestland was cold and damp and murky. I could feel myself begin to sag with a certain dead weight as I entered the outskirts of the city. I hurried across an old, abandoned K-Mart parking lot to my little blue Geo, throwing open the door, dropping into the driver's seat.
I fumbled with the keys in the pocket of my flannel shirt over my left breast, for a moment, wrinkling my nose at the sliminess and smell of bloody metal, pulling out the silver ring, and searching quickly as one possibly can with one uninjured arm, for the little key with a red streak design. Yea, I get bored, too. Sharpies do work on everything. Too bad the red marker stained my thumbs.

'BANG'
I heard the glass of the back window shatter before I even heard the gunshot.

I jammed the doodled-on key into the ignition, turned, and floored it as I shifted into first, second, third, fourth, and then to fifth, hauling freaking ass, skidding out into the highway, and pulling successfully away from the parking lot, lit by a flickering, cracked sign, with big –'Available For Rent'- posters duct taped diagonally across each side.

I wove the car around traffic, turning at various places, at random, for a full fifteen agonizing minutes, until I turned, and sped down the long gravel road that led to my dead aunts little wood cottage. I did a U-turn in the wider part of the gravel road, backed up the rest of the way, and came to a halt  near the front door, switching to park, and killing the engine, of which sputtered, and died like an old flame.

Still using only my right arm, I turned the handle, opened the door, and slid out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me. I fumbled as quickly as I could through the freezing fog, up the wood steps, and into the cottage, locking each of my five locks behind me, sealing the enclosure completely.

I slowly stripped down to my Spiderman short-like underwear and black lace bra, throwing the heap of my clothes directly into the white plastic trash can. My under things went into the washer, and I, hit the shower.

OK, stupid.

Stupid, idea.
