––––––––
I am very afraid, I am trembling... I truly feel so much fear. I have never been this scared in my life, and mind you, I used to be a fearless tough guy back in my university days, and look at me now! I am trembling, begging the gods to come to my aid. Please! Whoever is up there, come rescue me. How is it possible that I'm going through this? I want to believe it's a damn dream. I've always seen murders and such on the news, but usually, that doesn't affect you when you're safe. And those facts, even if they're harsh and raw, don't impact you beyond the initial shock. But when you're living that sense of desperation, everything changes. That raw, firsthand experience is terrible, very terrible.
Now I'm just like that, lost. I don't know where I am, but let's say I'm in the middle of a region in the mountains. Isolated. I'm being hunted. I practically have no way out. There's no way to escape; I don't know the terrain. I didn't even know these mountains existed on the map. Supposedly, everything is already telegraphed via satellite GPS, but this wasn't on the map. I would rather be dead right now than endure the prelude to a terrifying foretold death. It's just you against the world.
I must mention that I was heading to my mother's old house, my childhood home. This house is located in a county that generally has mountainous terrain and incredible landscapes. I was driving my 1985 Sedan on an ordinary day; I had driven that road when I was younger and knew it easily. From the city where I was, it was about a four-hour journey to that village of 25 houses nestled in the mountains, but the ride was enjoyable, listening to some classic Beatles songs. The house was abandoned, but according to my sister who had gone last year, the village of 20 houses was mostly uninhabited and deteriorating. Only one house remained standing, belonging to a man named Robert, and it was the only inhabited house in the entire area. Adding to that, the old man was already in his 80s.
I had just returned from Australia after living there for 10 years, and I was divorced again, trying to rebuild my life. What better place to distance myself from the city than in that area full of trees and fresh air? Honestly, I was quite tired of the hectic city life after living that way in Australia and working at a major law firm. I was certainly fed up with all of that.

I was driving in my car when suddenly I began to feel that the familiar road I had always taken was changing subtly. Initially, I thought it was just a perception of time and changes over the years that I had been away. However, I realized that it wasn't a mere mental pareidolia; the road I was on was not the Romit road I knew. This road was somewhere else. Suddenly, and I don't know why, my fear spiked, and I quickly stopped to figure out what was happening. Looking in the rearview mirror, I noticed in the distance a winding road stretching for tens of kilometers that I hadn't noticed before, surrounded by endless fields of corn and other tall crops. In the distance, there were large green mountains. Clearly, this was not Romi Hill; this was another place.
I immediately tried to navigate using GPS, but it failed completely. A phone call was no different. Through experience and expertise, I knew that in those areas, GPS and cell phones often failed. Therefore, I came prepared; I had a map of that area. However, my surprise grew when this place was not on the blessed map.
I wanted to think it was an error by the darn geographers or whoever made those maps, but I cursed a couple of times at the brand that sold those low-quality maps. The point is, I didn't know how I had ended up there, but I told myself
