Off the Beaten Path
You are standing at the start of a long driveway. Oak and pine trees grow sporadically on each side of it. The asphalt is morphed in some spots; tree roots making their way beneath it.
You look up at the clear, midnight sky and see moonlight and stars between the tree limbs and leaves. At the end of the driveway, illuminated by a porch light, you see a garage and steps leading to a house.
A crisp fall breeze rustles the leaves and your body urges you to zip up your jacket. You grant its wish and adjust your backpack as well.
Do you investigate the house or continue on down the road you're on?
