5 min readThe Road That Pulls
In a small Arizona desert town, a road called Reverie Road begins between the gas station and the bar and heads straight into the desert. Nobody knows where it goes. There are no houses, towns, lakes, mines, rivers, or any destination in that direction. The road has no highway marker, no pavement markings, and existed before the town itself. Four years ago, a man named Jeffrey Willard drove down Reverie Road at night, came home, beat his wife and dog to death with a hammer, and sat on his porch with no memory of what he had done. The local barkeep, Tom Davis, saw Willard drive by that night and later told anyone who would listen that there was "no life in the man's eyes" as he passed.
