Death Road

All the people of Zango, Nexius know of Death Road. Every time someone goes down the dark, forbidden road, they never come out. That is why no one can tell us what happens.

Three days after the last disappearance, someone new came to the town. His age he kept a secret, but by his size, he must have been a teen. He worked out, a lot, and never got weaker. He said his first name was forbidden to be told in this month of July, but he said his last name was Blackheart. With his arms so muscular and strong, we dare not bother him, in fear of those arms.

It finally came to the end of July when we woke up on a day labeled August First. We gathered a group to go to his house and a group because he was strong. When we arrived, some non-understandable music was playing. We knocked on his door and stood back. The loud music stopped. The door opened.

“My first name is Justin,” he said as he walked outside and headed towards the dark alley. He carried many supplies.

As soon as a second had passed, a creaky voice from behind saying, “Oh please. He can’t do it.” It was a small girl. She walked up with no equipment in hand. Justin stopped, and turned around. He looked furious.

“Who said that you could?” Justin said in an insulting way.

“No one. I just know that you think you are better than us. Though you are not. You are going to try and do it casually and that’s going to mess you up,” she said, though her face never cried.

Justin ignored her and continued to the alley. The alley is called Death Road because it used to be a road until no one came back from it.

When Justin was finally beyond the mist, which threw him out of our view, we no longer heard his footsteps. The little girl rushed beyond the mist, and she fell silent also.

Here on the planet Nexius, nights are dark and cold, normally silent. Most people got tired of our abandoned planet, so they went down to the Death Road and disappeared. The remaining Nexians, and us, strive to survive so we dare not go down Death Road. We wish to find a pathway to a more accompanied planet, or to retrieve back our lost Nexians.

We have heard of a highly accompanied planet in the galaxy Zarthans away, and it’s named Earth. We try hard to create ways to get there.

Suddenly, Justin’s voice was sounding. It was saying gratitude words. Then the little girl’s voice was sounding, “Your welcome!” As they came into view from behind the mist, Justin began to blabber.

“It was awesome! The mist hides a portal to Earth! Little Cindy, her name, found the secret Earth portal on Earth leading us back! We need your help to get back all the Nexians we can!” Justin exclaimed.

My group and I left our planet and used the portal to get to Earth. I now understand the stories of earthlings seeing odd life forms pop up out of nowhere. When we safely arrived on Earth, thousands, maybe millions of Nexians were grouped there. They had seen Justin and Cindy disappear. We took them back through the portal.

Nexius was then again lit, noisy, and filled with Nexians. Life was restored finally. I will never forget Cindy. As soon as we got to the courthouse to have a party, she fell down and never woke up. She was burried right by Death Road. She was a legend to us, and maybe even a super hero, but we wont forget her. As life continued on Nexius, we went to Earth on vacation. We labeled the portal with special gel that earthlings can’t read.

Justin wasn’t very optimistic after Cindy passed away. He decided to go to Earth and gurad the portal as his job. He never visited unless he accidentally fell in. But now we enjoy life on Nexius.
