In The Mist

The mist seeping upward from the swampy ground sent tendrils of vaporous smoke toward the roadway.  Headlights creating twin beams of haze in the patches of fog advanced along the roadway.  The driver, hunched over the wheel, sought to find his way.

He had left the party after confronting another guest.  Unfamiliar with the roads around the country home of his host he became disoriented.

The appearance of a hulking shape brought his car to a halt.  His heart pounding he peered into the night, sighing with relief as he recognized his host standing near the end of his driveway.
