Abandoned

After a hard day of work constructing the rail road tracks they began making their way to their cars ready to go home. Turning around one last time he worried for a split second about the leaning cart. Surely the wind wouldn't blow it over. Turning back around the worries slipped away as he thought of going home to his wife and getting a warm meal and rest. He was only on the road for a couple minutes when his car started making an odd noise and puttered to a stop. He sighed and made his way to the gas station a little ways up the road. Several hours later he realized that the station was a lot farther than he remembered. Sighing in relief as the lights of civilization appeared. He ran to the gas pump to make sure it was still working. Once assured he made his way away from the creepy dark woods and into the gas station. He walked in and called for someone, he needed to find a phone and call someone to take him home. The only thing that greeted him was silence. Unsettled he walked around and caught sight of the phone behind the counter. He crept back constantly glancing behind him and quickly dialed 911 and told the operator the address when the line went dead. His heart leapt into his throat at the sound of a car engine roaring to life and then speeding away. As he struggled to calm himself he heard sirens approaching from the distance and smiled to himself. He was going to be okay.
