A true Sceptic she told everybody
got to see it to believe they are real
even when out partying was vocal
figments of people’s imaginations
brashly meaning every single word
as she boldly ranted on undeterred!
But like most with their closed minds
she found herself in a dire situation
as her boyfriends car just stopped
chugging to a halt in a small village
certain he had filled the car with fuel
she knew he remembered as a rule!
On checking the gauge showed full
why had it stopped they both said
there were no street lights anywhere
no cars passed it soon became cold
foliage in the autumn winds blew
as consternation within them grew!
Being late unable to use their phones
decided to see if there was a room
in the pub they were now outside
her brash personality was quelled
as she began to feel unnerved here
there was a strange atmosphere!
The pub was very old nobody inside
except for a man behind the bar
whom they had to make conversation
enquired about staying the night
there was a bed had a drink and meal
to her the place had an odd feel!
Asked about a phone the landlord
stared at them with a blank look
so assumed there was not one
which was odd they both thought
but tired decided to go to bed
as she was getting a fuzzy head!
There was nobody to chat to here
nobody to bore or boost her big ego
so up to a room with a roaring fire
and a quaint four-poster super bed
within having a surreal ambience
for them both a new experience!
Slept well so comfortable made love
got up no shower just a jug of water
so just had a quick wash and dressed
odd but accepted these peculiarities
had a cooked breakfast went to pay
at the plastic card stared in dismay!
Even the money was not happy to take
they eventually left on very good terms
but thought the car was still a problem
tried it thinking the engine might work
amazed it started on the first key turn
stranded no more now not a concern!
Drove away from this weird little village
and home to civilisation they were use to
tried to forget all about that night trip
until in conversation she mentioned it
in that area nobody had heard of a place
just open countryside an empty space!
Had to go to find out though reluctant
for the first time she had some doubt
about here own life long scepticism
approaching the area saw a signpost
expected to have site of this hamlet
but with a Vast Emptiness was met!
Her True Sceptic stance had to reassess!
