I married recently and moved to the Pittsburgh area to be closer to work. I hate driving and traffic and the like, so it was welcome change to live closer. I'm a self-professed aggressive driver. At least, I used to be.

The road on which I travel to go to work would immediately bring to mind haunting imagery; a dark, twisting road in the thick of a well-forested area. So it came as no surprise to me when I learned from one of the locals of a legend circulating about that road.

It came to be that I was heading into work early (as I often do, as Pittsburgh traffic is crazy). It was dark out yet, cloudy, no moon, and extremely quiet. I'd had a strange feeling since I'd woken up that morning...like the feeling you get right after you've seen a great horror movie; you know it's fiction...but you still avoid mirrors for a while just in case there really IS something there.

I headed out and arrived at the road in short order. This road is a two-lane one-way road, so there is no oncoming traffic for the stretch of it. Since it was early, I decided to keep towards the center of the road. Deer abound in this part of town, and I had no desire to hit one.

It was really dark and some fog had gathered. I put on my high beams so I could see a little better. I heard a car somewhere behind me, but couldn't follow it because of the bends and the trees.

我最近剛結(jié)婚，為了方便工作，我搬到了匹茲堡地區(qū)。我討厭開(kāi)車(chē)和交通一類的東西，所以住得離上班地點(diǎn)近正合我意。我自認(rèn)是個(gè)很猛的司機(jī)。至少以前是。

我上班走的那條路幽暗曲折，周?chē)鷺?shù)木繁盛，很容易引發(fā)人不好的想象。所以當(dāng)一個(gè)當(dāng)?shù)厝烁嬖V我關(guān)于這條路的傳說(shuō)時(shí)，我并不覺(jué)得驚訝。

那天我早早得起床去上班(我平常就是如此，因?yàn)槠テ澅さ慕煌ê?jiǎn)直太擁擠了)。天還是黑的，沒(méi)有月光陰沉沉的，而且寂靜無(wú)聲。那天早晨起床后，我就一直有種奇怪的感覺(jué)，像是剛看完恐怖電影的那種感覺(jué)，雖然知道那是假的，但還是不敢照鏡子以免里面真的出現(xiàn)什么東西。

我出了門(mén)很快就開(kāi)到了那條路上。這是一條雙車(chē)道的單行線，所以整條路上都不會(huì)出現(xiàn)不同方向的車(chē)輛。時(shí)間還很早，我決定在路中央開(kāi)車(chē)，因?yàn)檫@一帶有很多鹿，我可不想撞到一只。

天色很黑還有霧。為了看得更清楚，我打開(kāi)了車(chē)大燈。我聽(tīng)到后面有車(chē)的聲音，但由于彎道和樹(shù)木的原因，一直看不到那輛車(chē)。
