The Cabin

The Cabin The car crept slowly down the dirt road. It was nearing midnight and the sky was inky black. As the rain poured down Riley could only make out the road by the puddles of water that were glinting by the light of the car headlights. Riley had never seen this much rain in her whole life and she was mesmerized by the sheer volume of it. How it ran down the windshield in torrents and was swept off with each swish of the wiper blades. The sound of the rain was deafening on the car roof as each large drop hit in rapid succession.
