Flash Part 1, May 29, 2012


The headlights cut through the darkness as he drove along the empty Florida back roads. He was alone, the hum of the engine only sound breaking the unnatural silence. Mile after mile disappeared behind him as the odometer ratcheted up one notch after another.
As he began to doze, something dashed in front of his headlights. Tires squealed as he slammed on his brakes.  The car began to drift.
Heart pumping, adrenaline rushing, the car stopped, the smell of rubber filling the air.
Shaking, he stepped from the car. He looked up to see a figure illuminated by the headlights.
