[ WP ] You notice your friend 's car empty and abandoned on a highway shoulder . After taking a closer look , you see a path leading to the woods from the car . You follow it .

I was on my way home from work. Just like any normal day, I was driving along 391 at about 55. Not speeding not going slow. I saw a white car, just sitting on the highway with the door open. I thought the car looked familiar, and I pictured my friends car and matched up the license plates I my head. It was his. I slow down, switch lanes, and park next to the car. Nothing was strange except the face that he was n't in the car. He was nowhere to be found actually. On the way walking back to my car to call him on his cell to see what was up, I glanced at the woods beside the highway. There was matted down grass footprints leading into the woods. The wind of the passing cars was quick and harsh. It lessened as I took small steps towards the woods. It was about 19:00, getting dark quickly. Should I have gone back to my car to call him, or just go into the woods? We all make mistakes, I guess. I walked closer to the woods. I heard a stick Crack and some rustling leaves. Must have been a rabbit I thought. Nothing else is in these woods. I was wrong. 
 
 I pushed aside a small vine Bush and took a step into the woods. The air was cooler in here than it was outside. I could see maybe 25 yards before it got too dark to see good detail. I saw the trail of footprints in the leaves and walked forward. I slid my hand across a tree. There was a sharp piece of bark sticking out. I looked closer and noticed there were 2 deep slashes in the tree. I ignored it and kept walking. I called his name a few times with no response. 5 minutes of walking and still nothing. As I walked a little more, I saw something on the ground. I ran up to the lump and noticed it was my friend lying on the ground. I shook him and he did n't wake up. I called his name and slapped his face. No reaction. I looked up and around, but no one was here. It was only us. Just then I heard a voice. `` You ca n't save him.'' I spun around and there was nothing. Only the woods. It was almost pitch black at this point. I turned back around and there was a face inches from mine. It was long and skinny, white as snow. Skin was covering the eyes and mouth of this thing. I could not speak. I could not move. Fear was struck in me. Then his cheekbones rose, as if this creature was trying to smile. It then shook violently and ran off to the right. It was lost in the dark. I remember being struck in the back of the head and blacking out. 
 
 I woke up in my car later that night, alone, at 2 in the morning. My friends car was gone. I wasted no time and turned on my car and sped away. 
 
 Yeah I'm not sure where I was going with that.
