Renee had been missing for almost twenty years of when the two teenagers had stumbled onto her car in the middle of woods. It was such a strange thing...there was no road or gaps in the trees big enough for it to have been driven into that small clearing. Yet there it sat...in all of its glory. It didn't seem to have all that much rust on it, surprisingly. Although, the way the grass and brambles were growing up and around it, anyone could see I had been there for a long time. It was so very strange.
