Hour 2 Challenge: Traveler’s Log -
My Creepy Journey:
Well, my travels were kind of spooking, I visited a haunted bridge in Ohio. There were many visions sounds, and eerie feelings of pain, broken hearts, and troubled souls. I didn't stay too long I needed to get out of there. It was just too much to absorb. So I ran and ran... straight into a herd of zombies.... I am still fighting my way through and hope to make it quick.... I need to get to my next destination... the wicked woods, a cursed land with shifters, fairies and witches oh my. Maybe here I can finally rest for just a while before I find my next spine-tingling experience.
