Figure In The Fog Poem by Jesser Weaver

On a foggy night......
The rain hits my windshield...
as I'm approaching a dead end.
This is where my Gps led me.

I'm poking my head out the my window...
....to see where I am exactly.

I cannot see anything.
I cannot see a single thing.
I try to turn my car on but it won't start.
I begin to panic so, I lock my doors.
My cell phone say's 'No Service'.

I continuously turn the key in the ignition.
but seems I ran out of gas.
I try to rethink...
if there was a store or gas station.
But I can't remember.

I step out the car.

I can only hear animals sounds in the distance.
Crickets.
Birds.
Frogs.

I step back in my car....

I wait a couple hours....
....to see if anyone passes by.
No one.
None.
Not a single vehicle.

The battery on my phone is dying.
Im beginning to feel hungry.

I have no water or food.
A headache begins to build in my head.
I look in my rear view mirror....

......all I can see is an old man.

It looks like an older version of me.

Wait!
It IS Me!
What's going On? ?

I begin talking to myself....
Asking why and how did I end up here?

I have no choice.
But to keep running in the opposite direction.
hopefully I'll see....

A person.
A place....
..........or even a thing.

The fog is tremendously thick.
I can barely see my feet.....
......or even my own hands.

I continue contemplating.....
....if I should give up.

As soon as I decide to give up......

I see a figure.
Walking towards the vehicle.

Very illuminant figure.
Very bright.

The fog continues to clear up as soon as it gets closer.
My car turns on automatically.
I begin receiving text messages.
I start to feel less hungry.
My headache goes away.

I look in the rear view mirror....
......I'm back to the young me.

Then....
the figure knocks on my window. 

As I look down......
to press the button to open the window.

It disappears.

It wrote Two words on my window.
It read 'Have Faith'.
I look around.....
notice I never left my driveway.
I'm right where i started.
