Roadside Cross

Sam Weller

Horror

A short story.

Every year, on the same night in November, a bouquet of flowers, a vintage bottle of wine, and a handwritten note appear next to a small wooden cross on the side of a lonely country highway. Year after year, it’s the same offering at the same time. On his way home from work at the factory, Tom notices these roadside tributes and wonders who the mysterious mourner might be. Despite warnings from a superstitious friend, Tom stakes out the area to see who it is that comes to this remote place along the highway. But he quickly discovers that some mysteries are better left unsolved, and sometimes the dead must mourn their own.
