When I take the back roads home from work, I drive by this road "Lust Dr". Lust Drive, what I can see of it, is a winding little road. In the spring the trees down the road would bloom and fill in so that it looks secluded and peaceful. In the winter, the trees have lost their leaves and look bleak but the name still gives this road much character.
For several years I just drove by it and chuckled about the lane of the street. Then one spring day I made that left hand turn. I slowed down, since no one was behind me and took my time driving down Lust Drive. Those first couple of winding curves were as beautiful as they looked. The third curve brought my car to a stop, Lust Drive had turned into run down houses, over grown yards and junk piled in the yards. It got worse as I drove along the road.
I wished I could go back and not make that left-hand turn. Sometimes it's best to leave things to your imagination.
