The Never-Ending Road



In Corona, California there once was a road known by most locals 
as the Never-Ending Road. Specifically, the road's true name was 
Lester Road. Now, over twenty years later, the landscape of Corona 
has changed, and the Never-Ending Road is no more. 
However, years ago, Lester Road was an unlit road that people 
claimed became a never ending road when driven at night.The people 
who made such a drive were never seen or heard from again.
The legend became so well-known that people refused to even drive
Lester Road during the day. One night, like many teens my age, 
I drove up Lester Road, but only a short distance, and in my 
headlights it did look like it went on forever. Frightened, I quickly 
turned around, because if I continued up the road, I thought I might 
never return again.
Perpetuation of the legend convinced local law enforcement to 
investigate. Lester Road took a sharp left turn at its end, and there 
were no guard rails. Beyond the curve lay a canyon, and on the 
other side of the canyon was another road that lined up so well with 
Lester Road that when viewed from the correct angle, especially 
at night, the canyon vanished from sight, and the road seemed to 
continue on up and over the hill on the other side of the canyon. 
Upon investigation of the canyon, dozens of cars were found, 
fallen to their doom, with the decomposing bodies of the victims 
still strapped to their seats.
