Let’s complete this story.
The sides of the road looked perfect with all the tall and green trees. There were no other cars around here. They were isolated from the outside world and they were getting into the depths of nature. They had not reached their destination yet, but the drive was peaceful. Until suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of them. [Your continuation goes here]
To Write or not to Write and What to Write 
which stopped us in their tracks. They quickly put their flashlight on and “whew” it was gone, thank God! When they turned it off it was back, this neon creature that they couldn’t make out. It wasn’t scary but errie all the same. What did it want from them so they asked it. There were no words but telepathic memories from a world they wished to know. That was fun Betul! 👏🙏

Well, my husband was standing over my shoulder urging me to “hurry up” so I think I missed the beautiful image you were describing in the day light.
It must have been my unconscious writing me to another land… lol!
Loved that fun writing prompt!

Just as suddenly, the noise of rotor blades shattered the tranquillity and a helicopter chattered noisily overhead, coming to rest on the road some distance ahead. They looked at each other nervously but quickly decided to keep driving. A matter of minutes and they found themselves slowing down to look at the helicopter, laughing as they saw the decals proclaiming it a Covid-Free Zone Enforcement vehicle. They had anticipated such a meeting and bluetoothed their biodata to the crew setting up that day’s checkpoint.
As their car headed-out of sight, the air was thick with relief; they were free and had $8m in stolen loot stashed in the trunk to enjoy!

The car slammed into it, rippled through it. The dash wavered. Windows turned soft like liquid. Genna gripped Alan’s hand as the vehicle shuddered. Her ears filled with the roar of falling water. Then silence. The car rolled to the side of the road and stopped. She glanced at Alan and sighed with relief that they weren’t hurt. Alan gasped and pointed. Outside the windows, the leaves of the forest were blue.

Ongoing closer, shadow become prominent and appear to be a middle-aged woman with her son, due to the spread of some bacterial disease in the area they lived, she runs away from there, along with her son, crossing the dangerous forest and have not eaten anything, for few days. As soon as, we tried to help her, she fainted due to weakness. We called the ambulance and police so that she can get better treatment

When they got slowly closers, they could see a woman next to the road.
She looked hurt and also confused and was sitting there, facing the trees.
She only had a t-shirt and a short skirt.
Not something you would expect around here.
When she noticed the car, she stood up and moved around, only to start running away into the opposite direction.
At first they waited a little shocked and spooked for some seconds, but then they decided to follow her anyways. She definitely looked as if she could need help and it also didn’t look as if she wanted to attack them. More as if she was scared as hell. So they got of the car, got the first aid-kit from the back and moved into the direction where the woman was heading.
They of course shouted something like: “Hello? Do you need help?” and other things. Knowing that it could scare the woman even more, but if they would say nothing, it would also be scary for her.
And they also didn’t know what happened to her.
The woman did ran into the forest and some broken branches and footprints on the ground showed where she went. After maybe 200 meters, behind a small hill, surrounded by a lot of bushes, there she was.
The woman was crying, while she was lying on the ground and probably hurt her leg because of her run. So, they slowly got closer with comforting words and gestures showing that no harm would come from their side. They also showed the first-aid kit. The woman tried to get away with her hands and knees at first. But then she couldn’t and when we finally reached her and reached out with a hand, she stopped. One of them also got a blanket from the backseat. They gave her the blanket and also a chocolate bar to eat. She didn’t seem to want the chocolate, but quickly took the blanket and quickly wrapped it all around her.
Now she didn’t seem to be too scared of us anymore, while still tears were running down her face.
One of them tried to talk to her, but then she started moving around with her hand. It seemed like sign language. Sadly the two didn’t understand it. So they tried to show with basic gesticulating that they would help her up and bring her to the car. The woman also didn’t seem to hear.
They helped the woman to get up and so they moved together back to the car. They let the woman sit in front, while one of them took the backseat, filled with things for the trip.
Now the trip was of course the least thing to think about and so they moved back, to the next town.

“Screeechhhh ,!!” he pulled the brake real hard , they look out for the source of shadow ,it was a pair of male and female deer , they were running around , being playful , sniffing and licking each other , they were very much engrossed in their world . Seeing this, they looked at each other ,their eyes meet , both of them remembered that their was the time when they were also in love,they used to express their love ,concern and everything like this , so when did their love starts to fade ? Now when they are together why don’t they feel this way ? , Why don’t they embrace their love anymore like they used to do during college day , why did they became strangers ? Their eyes moistens , they both were thinking exact thing while gazing in each other eyes , she was about to speak but he placed his lips on her’s . All the bad memories, the wall between them started melting away by the warmth of their love .

The shadow moved in a slow circular motion. We looked up and saw a Red-tailed hawk above us. He was looking intently swooping above the tall grass. We watched him for a long time. He was beautiful and fierce. Suddenly, he dove down, caught a field mouse in his talons and just as suddenly flew out of sight. We lifted our heads is his direction, bowed out heads in silent meditation, and then continued on our drive.

It was Doom and Gloom, a miserable spirit. “Stop,” he said, “I am warning you. In an hour, a dam in the hills will fail and the valley will be filled by a flood wave. You will be swept away and die. Hurry, drive away to safety, get out of this place!”
In the next moment, rays of sunshine ushered the darkness away. “I am Happy and Light, don’t listen to Doom and Gloom, or you will live your lives in eternal worry and misery, never enjoying the present. You are in a good place, it is beautiful, warm, green and peaceful. Be mindful, sink into the moment, breath the sweet air and be happy. Remember, your life is now.”
An argument broke out in the car, what to think, what to do? They could not agree of the best action. A calm wind interrupted the discussion and said: “whatever decision you take, can you live with the consequences if you are wrong?”
This is how they reasoned: If we leave and there is no dam failure, we will miss out on a wonderful day. If we stay and the dam fails, we are dead. They left.
What happened? It is not important what happened, what is important is to know how to reason about risk.
