He answered her question a second later when he emerged from the darkness of the tiny house. He had tossed the gun away and was now coming at her with an axe. He held it above his head, eyes bulging like a madman, marching towards her on shaky fatigued legs.
“Please. Please. Don’t do this.” She begged, still fighting the tree. But Gavin didn’t stop. He walked right up to her and paused, axe held high in the killing positon. Something in her eyes stopped his hand. It was a glimmer of hope, of life, of a future, all of the things he once had and would never have again.
The collective thoughts of the trees crawled into his brain – “kill her now, we are hungry” – they said.
“I have to. I’m sorry,” Gavin replied. When he opened his mouth a foul stench filled the air and Rusty could see that some of his teeth were missing, others were as black as night, about ready to fall out.
“Why? Why must you do this?” She asked, hoping to stall long enough to figure out an escape plan.
“I have to feed the trees,” he replied and looked out on The Lot.
She turned towards the trees and noticed that all of them seemed to be waiting for something. She turned back to Gavin. “You don’t have to do this.”
He readied the axe, gripped the handle tight. “I do and believe me I am very sorry. I truly am.”
Rusty closed her eyes, she was out of options and out of ideas. She had a mad man holding an axe in front of her and a tree branch holding her in place, all she could do was wait and hope that death would come quick.

I recently published this novella or short story, depending on how you look at it, and I wanted to promote it. So, my brain got to thinking, and my brain came up with three ways you can enjoy this story (if you want to read it).
- Tune in every Wednesday and read it page by page until it is completed.
- Send me an email: atothewr@gmail.com. In the header put: I would love to review The Lot on Route 6. Then let me know what you use to read ebooks: Kindle or Something Else. I will send it to you and all I ask is for you to give me a fair and honest review.
- If you are able to buy it and do want to support me the links to purchase the story are posted above.
Thanks again for all the support. I promise Poetry and Haiku as much as I can, but I hope you stick with me each Wednesday as I branch off into something a bit different. And if you missed a page look for the story underneath the Hump Day Promotions category. You are now free to move around the blog.
