So I've never really told anyone about this, and I don't really told anyone about this, and I don't really know how to properly explain

what I saw. So this is my first and best attempt. My name is Zach, and I moved to a northwestern

city in Washington State in early 2018, and I didn't really know much about the area.

I had recently gotten out of a pretty bad relationship, which actually led to me moving to this new city.

Best decision of my life, by the way. I lived with my mom and her roommate for a while until I could get my own place,

and everything was going pretty well. I had a nice job, made some good money, and I had little to no

rent. Plus, I was making a lot of new friends. One night, about two weeks into my new move, my buddy, let's call him Jay, invites me to go

play some pool and have a few drinks. It wasn't too late, maybe 9.30, so I happily accepted the

challenge, grab my phone, which I had unfortunately forgotten to plug in when I got home from work,

search for my keys, and got in my car.

Ten minutes later, after blasting Blink 182 and some screamo music, I pull up to the bar.

My buddy is already outside and waiting for me, and I sat in my car for a minute before

I went to say what's up.

We played pool for a while that night.

Won a few games, lost a few games, before I felt like going home around 11.50 p.m.

My buddy said he's going to stay and hang out with some people he knew there, and so I left to go get my car and readied my phone for Google Maps to find my way home, and...

No power.

It had run down while I was at the bar, and I didn't know these streets very well, but I didn't want to face the shame of walking back inside to tell my friend that I didn't know how to get home, so I decided to chance it.

I mean, it wasn't even a 15-minute drive. It was pretty close by, right? Wrong. I got lost. About 10 minutes later, I realized I've taken a few too many wrong turns and ended up in this

residential area with unfamiliar houses and streets. I kept driving on and on down these streets,

trying to find a familiar landmark or familiar street name so I could find my way home. But all I found was more

and more of these strange residential houses. But then, this weird fog started rolling in.
