The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. As Eligor sat in his slightly worn Buick feeling and looking regal an emergence was happening at the cabin in the woods.

Besides being in a particularly spooky area, the cabin was the main character in every horror story that every member of the town discussed around the fireplace. A trivial contest to thrill and terrify the most allowed enough evidence for the townspeople to be terrified of the cabin.

The only truth was that there had been strange activity on the land that the cabin occupied for quite some time. The tales and stories were fabrications, built upon incomplete police reports and disappearances of several individuals over the years. There were reasons to be concerned with the old spooky cabin at the end of the forbidden road, but the cabin's true secrets remained a mystery.

As the town folk peered wide-eyed at the storyteller across the fire the sinister tales of the cabin could never compare to its actual mystical history. No one's imagination could compete with the true dark magical events and occurrences of the cabin.

Eligor had heard the story, after story about the potential spooky and dangerous occurrences at the cabin. Although Eligor had heard the story, he had grown to believe that every word from everyone in his hometown's mouth was complete a lie. Not on purpose, the citizens of Cauztown seemed to be especially ignorant and dull.

But Eligor was like an alien on earth as he walked amongst the townspeople of Cauztown. Eligor had grand visions of a larger much more exciting world, like the environments that the large cities offered. Oddly enough because of the six-hour drive to the nearest actual big city, most in Cauztown thought that Eligor was delusional.

Nonetheless, Eligor harbored a very secret and deep desire for much more out of life. Helicopters, private jets, gold, diamond, and platinum jewelry. It is not very apparent why, but Eligor was extremely unwilling to conform to town life and ideals. But Eligor was practical and polite enough to pretend and make-believe an average Cauztown youth.

But deep under the surface and only expressed 66 miles away from town on a road that no one would travel. Eligor had a burning desire for the type of life that would be a movie. But Eligor did not want a boring snooze fest movie but an exciting film. Fast shiny cars, beautiful celebrity women, and of course himself Eligor the smooth Or Eligor the fancy, no the elegant!

The truth is Eligor was not certain exactly which nickname would make him feel comfortable, but he drove far up the forbidden road to consider this and other fame-related topics.

Eligor often drove 66 miles and up the forbidden road just to think and imagine exactly what his amazing future life would be like. Eligor, being very practical understood that he was going to need a crystal clear vision to escape his nightmare of Cauztown.

Eligor had calculated that his chances of leaving Cauztown depended on his ability to get space from the town itself and the townspeople. Because there was no one living in Cauztown who had achieved Eligor's goal of leaving Cauztown, he found it practical to assume that the opinions of everyone in Cauztown did not matter.

Eligor figured getting far away from the townspeople would allow him to develop independently of the stay in Cauztown till you die majority that he was surrounded by.

There were several things that Eligor enjoyed about the 66-mile drive to and eventually up the forbidden road. But his favorite thing about the view at the top of the forbidden road was the absolute darkness. Because it was on a ridge, Eligor could see the faintest twinkle of light emanating from the distant big city.

Eligor often drove up the forbidden road to dream his big-city dreams. That is why that night Eligor...
