It was the routine drive back home. I took the my favourite road. The same route I frequented the last 5 years. It's a route that's filled with trees, through the HAL township. One can always feel the freshness of the flowers, old leaves on the road, quiet houses and arching trees alongside the road through with the sunlight rarely makes its way. There is also a large wall on one side of the road. I always assumed that there was some large factory or some defence establishment. Driving back through these streets have always been the most relaxing.
Something was different the last time I traveled down the road a few days ago. The large wall had given away. I was curious to see what lay beyond. It was just a sneak peek when I drove by What lie beyond was the last thing I'd imagine.
Through the broken wall I could see a large cemetery. The were large trees and tombs. The sight was almost right out of Omen. There were no bloodhounds nor the walking dead. It was just a quiet cemetery. But what I saw sent a chill down the spine.
It was the same route I had taken hundreds of times and even during the wee hours of the night. But there was the wall. And what lay beyond didn't bother me. Now that I've seen what lies beyond, each time I pass along the road the I feel creepy.
I always wished to see beyond the wall. I did. It was not what I had imagined. There were two choices I could make. Use the road or don't even go nearby.
I still take the road. The cemetery scares the hell out of me. But I know I'll make it safely coz the fear is only in my head.
