  4. Then the car swerved violently. No one had seen the yellow signs screaming warnings in the dark. The fog didn’t help either. Since when had there been a cliff here?

  5. Detours are a wonderful way to get to see the world, Everyone is busy going directly from point A to point B without (cliche alert) stopping to smell the roses. I think detours are great.

  6. the detour fell, fell away from the road and into countrysides winding away from their own main roads. We followed it into the dark, out of tunnels and rivers and all over, over here there were people who didn’t know the road was a detour, over their they’d been waiting a long time for it

  10. Detour is word that is often missed used. Often people think that it is a route you take when a primary one has been denied, but this is not the case. In actual fact, a detour is the official name for the ceremony that takes place when a tour guide dies.

  11. i was walking when it happened.
    Slowly but surely, that same man who haunted my dreams appeared in the window.
    I ran like hell.
    I ran until the breath flew out of my chest and i heaved and nothing came out.
    I sprawled out on the floor
    and blacked out on the face of my fears.

  14. I needed a detour. One that could get me away and occupied from him. Him. He made me so angry. And yet, I loved him more than anyone.

  15. A detour is a alternative route, usually because the primary route is blocked or inaccessible. Many people view detours as annoyances, but they can also be seen as chances for a different drive, a change of pace, and a new road–with the chance, of course, that you will be late for your intended destination.

  20. taking detours is probably the worst thing known to man. When you take a detour, your sense of direction is all screwed up, you’ve got no idea where you are, when you are, who you are, why you are, how you are, you just are, 300 thousand feet away from where you were supposed to be.

  21. I promised her this one detour. One stop alongside the road. I don’t know what attracted her to that small abandoned graveyard a few meters away from the car. She’d left me standing by the staionwagon, watching her walk away. She knelt down by one of the graves, her long dark hair shuddering as her shoulders shook in sobs. It took me a moment to realize what those sobs meant.
