The psychopath
We were so excited for this day, our group of six friends,decided for a road trip to my hometown. We were not going from the highway but from the road through the woods that was shut down 5 years ago.I used to travel by that route and I clearly remembered the trees and the crystal clear water of the lake that I used to visit when I was kid.I was the one who suggested it.

But I never even imagined that this could also happen.Our car ran into a big tree and the engine got destroyed. We neither have a tool box for repairing or network signal.It seems that we have to walk or wait for a car but that is impossible because the road was shut down.

But in turn to find someone to help we ran into a psychopath. Me and my two other friends were hidden behind the shelves as the psychopath was cutting a dead body into pieces. We were waiting for the psychopath to leave the room so that we could dodge of the window at the corner of the room .To be lost in the woods is thousand times better than to be killed by a psychopath.

My body was numb as my heartbeat picked pace. I was drenched in my own sweat and my legs ached from running.The foul smell irritated me.As the time passed I was losing hope. I wasn't sure that if we will survive or not .We got stuck here because of me,I was the one who suggested to travel by this road.

As we waited,the man walked out of the room, locking the door ,we went out of our hiding place ,but the difficulties isn't over. The dead bodies were letting out a foul smell. We reached to the window ,but weren't sure that we should break the glass or not.One of us picked up an axe at the corner of the room and threw it at the window.The glass break and shattered all over the floor,the sudden noise made the mad man aware of the intruders at his house.We could hear the keys as the door flung open. Michael, one of our friends kicked Joe in the stomach and ran to the window in this coarse, the glass pieces shattered on the floor got stuck in his foot as his foot began to bleed.

The psychopath getting distracted by the blood,as he ran and dodged it the window to catch him.We took the opportunity and climbed up the roof.I had totally lost hope but Joe promised me that we will surely survive .I liked Joe ever since I met him, but I never thought that he cared about me that much .We were sure that the psychopath had killed Michael cause his foot was hurt and he couldn't ran too far .

We spotted a truck running down the road ,we jumped off the roof into the bushes. Running up to the road we make the truck stop,climbed up.The driver told his name was Andrew. We were sure nobody will believe our story. At least were safe .

But we weren't aware of Michael's dead body at the back of the truck.
