Rest Stop. Nightmares - 13 Twisted Tales, #11

REST STOP What begins as a family road trip ends in a nightmare where time itself takes a detour. David Miller is just a man driving home from vacation, his wife Sarah teasing him, their kids bickering in the backseat. The perfect picture of ordinary, happy chaos. When Sarah insists, they stop at a roadside gas station, it seems like a harmless pause in their journey. Clean restrooms, cold drinks, and a few minutes of relief before home.
But when Sarah steps out of that spotless bathroom. Her car is gone. Her family is gone. What follows is a haunting descent through the impossible. A place where time bends around the edges of reality, and familiar roads lead somewhere utterly foreign. When Sarah finally returns home, she finds herself a stranger in a life she never lived. REST STOP is a chilling and emotional thriller about love, loss, and the terrifying spaces between one heartbeat and the next.
