The Creeps

Now I’ve lived in Alberta all my life, and I have lived in this particular part of Alberta for over half of it. I know the area pretty well. I know of all the towns in our district and how to get around without ever needing a map…or at least I thought I did.

The other day me and some friends went to look for this random door in a field. Seriously, it's as random as it sounds. Just a door in a field. To my dismay, we couldn’t find it…the directions we were given led us down this creepy road that freaked me out the most of anyone in the car, and sure enough, into a town that I didn’t even know existed. The problem is, this wasn’t just a normal town...it was a town that seemed to all of sudden "appear" out of nowhere, sort of like Narnia. We entered some secret portal that rocketed us into the world of the creepy and the strange, leaving all sense of logic and normalacy behind. This was a scary town. It was called Allington and consisted of about 2 houses and about 3 trailers. It was like leaving what I knew to be Alberta and entering this other dimension. Also, as we were trying to wrap our minds around this new and weird place Kyle thought he might have seen a woman standing in a field. Had it been the middle of the day that would have been one thing, but this was late into the night. No woman in her right mind would stand in the middle of a field! I was so creeped out so I sped out of Allington and back into Alberta as I knew it.

We never came across the door in the field, but we did stop and take some photos on the road. This was long after the creep session, so I had pretty much calmed my over active imagination down.
