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.

You know, I used to be terrified of driving on highways. It took me a long time to get past that.

This is not helping me stay past it!

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 :).
