The Path (3 Book Series) 1/1

 I was hired as a midday attendant on what is known as the beach path. This path is a seaside path that stretches two miles. When I was hired for this job, I had to sign a form that I would follow all ten rules. When I asked Mr Franks, "What would happen if we broke the rules?"

He snorted and said, "You will be stuck on the path forever."

I made a few copies of the rules and placed them in my locker.

Rules

1. Have all items needed in your push cart. Follow the master list and never run out. If you run low go tp the nearest hut and restock. Running out could be fatal.

2. If sea fog comes in before the end of your shift. Never answer the voices in the fog.

3. Never leave the path. If someone begs you to leave the path, apologize and say your manager will not let you break the rules.

4. Do not go on a walk with anyone. If someone tries to walk with you on the path, Stop and state you must stay at this location. They will leave.

5. If it gets dark during the day or pitch black at night, climb under the back of the cart, close your eyes and count to one hundred. When you open your eyes after 100 the light will return. 

6. If the sound goes quiet around you, go to the nearest hut and lock the door till the sound returns. If you hear voices calling fir a vendir while the noise is gone do not respond.
