Mimics - Shapeshifters

This happened around 8 years ago but it's something I'll never forget. My grandpa told me never to speak of it but if I don't get it off my chest, I don't think I'll ever be able to move on and live a normal life. My grandpa and I were travelling up to our holiday home in Shizouka, Japan. As my parents were on a business trip, we were carrying on ahead of them and they would join us once they had returned. Our holiday home was in a very remote area, we didn't have any close neighbours and it was situated in a wood. I always enjoyed the vacation as it was close to a river with a waterfall which looks straight up to the Garden of Eve.

My grandpa collected me at about 2pm and we began our approximate 3 hour journey which was heavily delayed due to a traffic incident on the road. Evening soon drew in but we were only about half way there. Eventually it began to grow dark as we travelled along the windy roads, but we could now see the mountains so knew we were close to home. The roads were surrounded by trees that met in the middle so it felt like driving through an endless tunnel, it was unimaginably dark. A loud thud broke the silence as my grandpa had hit a rock in the middle of the road. It was like someone had put it there on purpose, in order to anyone travelling any further. The car began to smoke and we later found out that it was because the clutch had become too hot.  But it quickly became apparent that we were stuck, there was no hope of anyone passing us in this really remote area. We decided to stay the night in the car as my grandpa admitted he was tired and wasn't great at driving at night.
