FB3X Drabble Cascade #32 - Cage

Title: Hunger (horror)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 100
Prompt: Cage
Ever wonder how many accidents happen on a road and how almost all evidence of them is gone so quickly?


Orange and white barrels lined the three lane divided highway, a sure sign of road construction. What wasn’t so obvious was written in the periodic crushed or dented barrels, lying off to the side. The black skids on the road itself or even up the half wall concrete dividers were easy to dismiss for what they were. Rarely a bumper or tangled metal of indeterminate purpose was seen but small plastic pieces littered the roadside, evidence of past accidents.

Dennis, driving into the confusing maze, watched in horror as the new highway construction temporarily metamorphosed into a trap before him.

It really is rather sad, but mundane at the beginning, maybe a road accident tribute. It's only because I know your work now that I'm waiting for the twist in the last line :).

During projects of this nature, one has to propriate the gods with sacrifices, which was almost the title for this drabble. It amazes me how well the accidents are cleared away so you almost can't tell anything happened there and they do it so quickly.

Rats you're on to my tricks.*grins*
Next month is NaNoZoMo. There shall be more zombies around....... maybe.
