A BUSINESS TRIP GONE WRONG:CAR VOYAGE INTO THE UNKNOWN.

  On earth,one of the many habitable planets of humanity.An elite man,James Forger has just embarked on a business trip for a trade deal that would be really profitable to his company from New York city to a place strangely unfamiliar to him.On his way back he passes through a dense eerie forest.Somewhere along the way,his car suddenly breaks down.James opens the car bonet and scrutinizes it but strangely finds no problem.A few hundred metres ahead,he notices building lights and decides to check it out and seek help.To James' surprise, it was a traditional kind of a resort.Since it was already nightfall and he couldn't go back home on foot;James opted to check in for the night.The place seemed empty,except for the steward and hotel staff.After being shown to his room,James slumped on the bed and dozed off right away.After what felt like an eternity,he was awoken by strange mumblings that seemed to come from a creature he could not comprehend.As his eyes got used to the dark, he noticed,there seemed to be someone else in his room.But he clearly remembered locking the door from the inside! He quickly switched on the lights but alas!no one was there."Ah,must be my mind playing tricks on me."He switched off the lights and went back to bed,tumbling the room back into darkness.Just as he was on his way to the Dreamlands, he was awoken again as the strange mumblings resumed. Looking back at the only seat in the room,the human presence was seated there like nobody's business.The mumblings grew louder as if speaking directly to his mind.In terror,Forger jumped out of bed,scampered out of the room,into the hotel lobby and then ran out into the darkness. No matter how far he ran,the strange mumblings did not subside;instead they only grew louder. Then like a switch that had been turned on,Forger slowly began to remember, the steward and hotel staff;they were never human at all!Grotesque monsters of inhuman nature with slitted eyes, rotten flesh covered in mucus and tentacles for limbs. It was truly a sight to behold;one that would surely send any mortal to an early grave in fear and terror.Wait, how did he assume and forget such clear and fine details?Was he mind controlled, or was his memory replaced with what the creatures wanted him to see?Never mind that; the served supper that he ate,what exactly did he eat?He stared at his hands in terror. Gnawing abyssal fear gripped his soul.Bloodied lumps were where his fingers should have been.He had eaten his own fingers while being totally unaware of it!An intense urge to nauseate hit his guts.No,he had to get out of this forest now!The stench of death was everywhere. In the distance,Forger saw his car.Yes!there was hope.As long as he reached that location, he could trace his way back out of the forest.But wretched fate had other plans in store for him.The more he ran,the farther away his destination got.Slowly, despair crept into his heart.He was slowly breaking down. He couldn't run anymore. He stood where he was, frozen in terror. "Ah,this is it." There was no way he could outrun a creature capable of warping Space to its whims.Suddenly, he looked up.That's when Forger saw it.A giant eyeball spread across the sky with tentacles whose length no mortal could decipher was staring right back at him.The man had reached his limit. His mind,already tittering on the brink of insanity caved in.What the hell had he gotten himself into?This creepy place;and the entity in the sky.What were they,where was he?Was Forger even on earth anymore? This was a question whose answer would remain unknown even to time itself. A few seconds later,a terrified, pained scream cut through the darkness. With it came the sound of bone snapping and flesh being torn apart.And then eternal silence reigned supreme once again. The giant eyeball glowed in the dark with boundless malice and satisfaction. Ah,the puny mortal had put up quite a show: truly quite a show. With that, space tore itself apart making way for the entity. It turned it's eerie massive body and vanished into the void of a far unknown, closing the space behind it.
