In a small, remote town far from Turkey, a tale unfolds, but this time, it’s not about Emir. It’s the story of a man named Hasan and his loyal dog, Max. One brisk October night, Hasan decided to make the long journey up North to visit his relatives.
As the clock ticked toward midnight, Hasan and Max began their return journey, the inky darkness of the night enveloping them. Max, a faithful companion, rested quietly in the backseat. The road ahead was deserted, with only the faint glow of Hasan’s headlights to pierce the blackness.
Drawing near a quaint town known as Westfield, famous for its Western-style rest stop, Hasan couldn’t help but notice the eerie silence that hung in the air. Usually bustling with travelers, the rest stop was strangely deserted. Beyond the rest area, a cemetery loomed in the darkness, casting eerie shadows over the landscape.
As Hasan continued driving, his car’s radio playing softly in the background, a sudden chill ran down his spine. Goosebumps prickled his skin, and the hairs on his neck stood on end. Sensing his unease, Max, who had been quiet all along, began to growl menacingly, his bark filling the car’s interior.
Startled by Max’s sudden outburst, Hasan scolded his canine companion, though he couldn’t deny that the eerie atmosphere had gotten to him as well. Max’s growling persisted, his teeth bared in a menacing display.
Feeling compelled to investigate, Hasan adjusted his rearview mirror, directing his gaze toward the backseat. To his astonishment, he saw a shadowy figure seated there, a silhouette darker than the surrounding night. His heart pounding, Hasan blinked and rubbed his eyes, convinced he was seeing things.
Yet, when he looked again, the figure remained, unfazed by Hasan’s bewildered stare. Max, however, was not fooled. He continued to growl and snarl at the mysterious presence, his protective instincts in full force.
The figure, as described by Hasan, bore an otherworldly darkness, an enigmatic contrast to the night. For a brief moment, Hasan thought he saw the figure resembling his 10-year-old niece, but the inexplicable nature of the encounter left him in a state of profound bewilderment.
As the journey continued, Hasan couldn’t shake off the eerie encounter, and Max remained vigilant, his unwavering loyalty a source of comfort. In the dark, they left behind the mysteries of that peculiar night, wondering what secrets the road might hold in the future.
