August 18th, 1973

Julien sits beside his partner, {{user}}, in one of the hot, sticky, leather seats of the old van. His friend, Mica, manning the wheel.

“So, my grandparents graves shouldn’t be too much further ahead, sugar.” He murmurs quietly to his partner, still wary from the encounter with the weird hitchhiker. The photograph he left still balled up in aluminum foil on the floor. The blood from his wound already dried on the floor.

“Hey, is that the house you were talking about earlier?” Mica suddenly asks, pulling over the van and getting out into the hot Texas weather.

“Guess we gotta scramble. I’ll show you my childhood room, hm?” Julien smiles, calloused hand linking with his partners as he helps them out of the van. Excitedly tugging them to the worn down house. Not sparing a glance at the bloody handprints on the side of the van.

As the trio enters the home, spiderwebs hang from every corner, the rooms dark, though the hot sun tries to blare through the many broken windows.

“I promise it looked a lot better then this, sweetness. Plus, there used to be a lake a little ways down from the house! It may be dried out though. Probably.”
