It was a Saturday around four or five o’clock. The sun was shining as bright as it could, with a slight breeze. The weather felt like the beginning of summer, end of spring, yet spring had not even started yet. Then the clouds came to darken the scene. The accident took place at the McDonalds just off the highway in Lake Town.
Kyle was working another normal day at work; nothing too exciting had really happened all day. Kyle could not wait to get off at ten. He was thinking about playing Diablo III after work when, all of a sudden, there was a loud noise from outside. A man named Jake had driven his truck off of the road and onto two other cars, totaling all three of them. “I have to get out of here,” Jake said with a scared shaky voice. “The sun is after me. It is trying to kill me!” he shouted out.
Before the crash, Jake had began to speed faster and faster. Jake fell into a trance and just stared at the sun while driving; everything else around him became dark. He drove off the road and went right through the two cars. When he looked up, the two men he hit got out of their cars. They just wanted to see if he was ok. “Cannibals!” he insisted on shouting. I need to get out of here, he thought to himself. He grabbed his love and ran into what he thought was a cave. Kyle stood there watching from behind the counter as he opened the door and walked in. As he looked around, there were more people; they just stared. He just kept whispering, “These people want to take us away. They want to separate us.” Jake put his hood up and grasped his love tightly in an attempt to keep her safe.
He started to approach the counter. “What can I get for you today?...” Kyle said to him, but there was no response; he just kept approaching. Kyle repeated himself to Jake and Jake stared at him, trying to stay hidden behind his hood while he opened the door to walk behind the counter. The people inside paid no attention to him, they just continued to cook. Jake thought they were cooking human. Everyone looked like these cannibal creatures to him; he thought they all worked for the sun and were out to get him.
He passed by Sean. Sean asked him who he was and Jake got scared. He shouted, “not my love!”
Sean thought this was a little odd. He said to Jake, “You are not supposed to be behind the counter, customers can order upfront.” Jake took out a knife and lunged at Sean. Sean fell to the ground and yelled “call the police!” Jake jumped out the drive-thru window and ran into the woods.
Shortly thereafter, the police showed up with dogs and a tow truck to move the three cars. “What happened here?” an Officer asked Sean as he sat in the ambulance to get his wound tended to.
“A man came crashing through the parking lot, then ran in here, stabbed me, and ran into the woods.”
The Officer said, “We will handle this,” then ran in the woods after Jake with search dogs. The entire day was interesting after that. The only thing people were talking about the rest of the night was Jake.
The next day at work they got a report that Jake had been found in the woods with meth on him. The police arrested him and told them they would not have to worry about him coming back.

This was a real experience but I took it a little further to make it more interesting.
