“It’s a ghost town, Carol. You know, nothng living, just ghosts hanging about.” Jack snorted just a bit as they approached the vacant, unused buildings that used to make up Tindertown.
“I know that, but I don’t want to stop there!” She didn’t shreik but he thought she might.
He accelerated just a bit coming round the corner to the town. A figure stepped out in front of the vehicle and Jack managed to swing the car to the left, but not enough to miss the person.
“Jack!”
He hit the brake, looking in the mirror at … nothing.
“I must have been seeing things,” he said trying not to let his shivers show.
“No,” said Carol, “you weren’t.”
Jack followed her eyes, using the mirror to see the pasty-white translucent figure sitting in the back seat…smiling.
Neither Jack nor Carol saw the oncoming semi until it was too late.
