STREET OF NO RETURN

THERE IS A STREET NEAR 26 MILE ROAD THAT HAS BEEN NAMED
THE STREET OF NO RETURN. IT IS OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND
ALL AROUND IT THE SCENERY IS BEAUTIFUL AND GREEN BUT WHEN YOU
TURN DOWN THIS STREET EVERYTHING IS DEAD, THERE IS NO WILDLIFE AROUND
AND NO TREES, ETC.
IF YOU GO DOWN THIS STREET FAR ENOUGH YOU WILL NEVER RETURN.

Submitter comment: JEAN HEARD OF THIS STREET WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL, NO ONE SEEMS
TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PEOPLE, BUT SHE DOES RECALL AN INSTANCE
THAT SOMEONE SHE KNEW IN SCHOOL WENT DOWN WITH A COUPLE OF GUYS AND
NO ONE EVER FOUND THEM AFTER THAT.
