The Bridge

P.A Nightmare

The Bridge

“In 1863 during the American Civil War. The battle of Gettysburg raged on. Becoming the bloodiest battle to be fought on american soil. Three soldiers fighting for the confederacy disguise in union attire. Marched on with union forces once discovered the union promptly made an example of them. They were hanged until dead right here at the Sachs covered bridge. The hanging took place at dusk which is historically the time most hangings would occur.”

The historian in Luke was enthralled in the story his guid was weaving.

Luke yelled “ouch.”

Feeling a sharp poke into his left side. Spinning around to glare at however just poked him. His girlfriend April had a sheepish grin on her face. Luke scoffs “What was that for?”

April smirked “I was talking to you and you were ignoring me.”

Annoyed Luke stated “I am paying attention to the tour guide you know I love history. Maybe you should listen and you could learn something for a change.”

Turning back to his guid and listening to her.

“Legend has it that if you're unlucky enough to be on this bride at the time of their death. You will meet the same end as the soldiers.” The tour guide looks at the crowd and gives them a playful wink.

“But it's fine we have not had to cover up any deaths in years. The crowd laughs at her joke.”

After the tour guide was finished telling her tail. April spinnes on her heels to look at Luke okay she's done now can we go i am bored and it's hot. I want ice cream. April complains

“Yes we can go now let's find Tyler” Luck placate.

Finding Tyrler they set out to go to one of the many ice cream parlors in Gettysburg. While eating there ice cream April makes the suggestion with a mischievous look on her face. We are going to this bride at dusk that you seemed to enjoy so much Luke. And see if these ghosts really exist or more likely they are fake as shit. Still will make for a great story.

Tyler looks over at April, his mouth agape. He continues to stare at her as if she has three heads. He yells in the middle of the ice cream parlor

“ON A SCALE OF ONE TO HELL NO GO FUCK YOURSLEF.”

Come on man Luck coxas its fine nothing bad will happen it's all made up for the tourist no one actually believes this shit this it’s just for fun man and to get more out of this trip we will most likely never be here again.

Tyler concedes “I will come along to be the look out for you two. I can't have you getting arrested after all. But mark my words I will not be stepping foot on that bridge that is out of the question. You have a problem with that i will not be coming along on oyur little suicide mission.”

April laughs at him and says “okay if you want to be a coward and believe in that this supertiouses crap is real fine. But we are going.”

After eating their ice cream the group go to the hotel room, change shaower and get ready for the night's events. About an hour before dusk they head out for the bridge. Once they got there the atmosphere was ominously thick. But what Tyler noticed most was the lack of noise. No insects or other sounds could be heard near the bridge. But just before they got close to the bridge the night seemed just like any other night.

Approaching the bridge April and Luke sat foot on it. As the sun began to fade and dusk set in. A fog starts to form around them. Tyler that refused to set foot on the bridge watched on. Soon he was not able to see Luke and April anymore, still able to hear them he was not worried. As if on cue he heard both of them scream not wanting to set foot on the bridge he screams

“what's going on.”

Slowly as the fog fads he sees the bodies of his two friends suspended in the air by ropes. Swaying back and forth even though there was no wind.
