A blue night out

Late night adventure through the misty town of Jean-Valle

This article is about my adventure through a deserted town trying to get my way back home
with some friends. Many different interesting things happened to us. It was a very
entertaining night and is a great story to tell.

It all started with a friend’s idea. A trip to a deserted village in the middle of Belgium. We
had amassed a group of around 15 people. We left at 5pm to get on a train to a random
town in Belgium. We decided to get off at Jean-Valle. An old looking town with the only
shop being a louis Delhaize. We walked around for a few minutes aimlessly thinking of what
we would do first. We had all the time in the world until we had to arrive at the Air bnb. We
decided to enter the shop and looked around at the different shelves. We bought a few
bottles of water and a 6 pack of coke. This should be enough to entertain our evening.

It started going dark. An old man approached us staggering with what we thought at first
was a fork. He shouted, “give me your money”. One of my friends started throwing hands.
Soon afterwards, we realised it was a knife. We sprinted across the street, but another one
of my friends tripped over a branch and fell in a ditch on the other side of the road. The man
headed towards Yahn (the boy in the ditch) but I intercepted him and landed a right hook to
the temple. He was knocked out cold instantly. We proceeded to carry on down the road,
sipping our water and soda.

It was pitch black, we heard a screeching of tires, suddenly, the road was flooded by the
bright light of a speeding car. It stopped in front of us, the old man jumped out of the back
of the car. We were terrified. Music still blasting from our speakers, we ran and dissipated
through the thick damp forest parallel to the road. We hopped barbed wire fences, jumped
over deal trees. Panting from the long run. We sat down and turned the music off. We
needed to get back to the road in order to find our way to the air bnb. We all had at least a
million cuts along our arms and legs. It was painful, but it was what we had to do to get
away from that lunatic.

The sun was shining once we had finally arrived at our air bnb. It was a successful walk back,
we hadn’t lost anyone. We were all exhausted from the last nights workout. But we still had
many days to go.

In conclusion, our adventure was very eventful and exciting. Part two to the story will be
kept for another article.
