The Village of Last Hope

A Friday the 13th Story

By: Stephen B King

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Dazed and confused, Michael wanders the streets in the rain, depressed to the point of suicide. He found his wife in his brother's arms when he arrived home earlier. Michael has always had issues of paranoia, much to his wife’s annoyance, but this time, he knows what he saw.

Waiting for the next bus, a stranger appears, offering him a raincoat and somewhere to spend the night where he will be safe. Gabriel eventually leads Michael to a door in a concrete wall under the Interstate, and they enter a hidden village. He is introduced to Peter, the gatekeeper, who demands to know what Michael did. Michael can’t remember anything from before leaving his home earlier and doesn’t understand the question.

Michael has three days to remember and answer Peter’s question. Too late, Michael discovers he is a prisoner, but is it of his own making? Has he gone completely insane, or has he done something so evil, he is damned forever in The Village of Last Hope.

Disappointing

Love Stephen King but this story is totally predictable like I wonder if he wrote it? Plus it’s read by a computer generated voice. Maybe it’s an AI story in an alleged Stephen King vein
