Deserted Highway Access Road

Forgotten Highway to Professor Jensen's Monitoring Station

The narrow two-lane road stretches endlessly under an overcast sky, its cracked tarmac glistening with recent rain. Faded center lines barely mark the divide between dirt shoulders choked with weeds and greasy puddles that reflect the muted glow of distant security lights. Power lines slump across the horizon like broken sentinels, their hum drowned out by the occasional splash of passing vehicles that ignore Richard’s outstretched arms. The road itself seems alive with motion as headlights slice through the dim, yet none pause—a highway indifferent to human desperation. Wet gravel crunches underfoot when the limousine finally arrives, its black shell sleek and unapproachable against the desolate surroundings.
