before it was due. While working on it his computer had crashed, and he had
to start over. He had spilt coffee on his favorite shirt and burnt himself.
Now he was driving home, ready to get the day over with. The road seemed to
be deserted; he hadn't seen a car for about five miles. He lived out in the
country and still had about four miles to go. He rounded a sharp curve, and
by the light of the moon he saw a car coming. The car didn't have any lights
on. The man thought to himself about how dangerous that was, and they might
cause an accident. Out of instinct he flashed his lights at the car as it
passed by him.
As he looked in his rear-view mirror, the car turned its lights on. He then
saw the car slam on brakes and turn around, its lights on bright. The man
got worried, he had heard of the urban legend about the gang initiations.
They would drive around with their lights off, and when someone would flash
them they would follow them and kill them. But it was an urban legend wasn't
it? He didn't believe that it had ever happened before. The car was coming
faster at the man. He sped up, but the car kept coming faster until it hit
the back of his car. The car hit the back of his car again. The man floored
the accelerator, but the car stayed right behind him. Now the man was
worried. He drove past the road to his house out of the fear of putting his
family in danger.
He was driving at a speed of one hundred and five mph and the car was still
following right behind him. He knew that he would never make it to the next
town on a quarter of a tank of gas. His only hope was to turn around and
head back into town. He swerved and made a u-turn with the other car barley
missing him. He sped off.
The car came speeding up behind him and passed him. The man was relived as
he thought the car had given up the chase. Until he saw the car stop ahead
then slowly drive away. The man was curious but kept driving. He heard a
thump and the car bounced. He knew his tires had been flattened. He knew
that he wouldn't be able to keep driving. He stopped the car and got out. He
saw the car turn around and head back toward him. He ran. He ran for his
life. The car pulled over and three guys got out and started running after
him.
The guy that was in the lead jumped and tackled the man. The man saw the
glint off of a knife under the moonlight. He knew that he would never see
his family again. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he felt the
sting of the blade cut across his throat.
