Short Stories From Corey

The Car

I was driving one late night. It was around 10:30 p.m. It was June 8th, 2016. I saw headlights coming at me really quick behind me. I pulled over and turned on my emergency lights. I did this to let the car pass.

But it didn't. It stopped about 65 feet from where I was. I got back in and started driving again. The car waited I assumed. It started going fast at me again. I had no idea what to do.

I decided I should stop and keep repeating this until I get to gas station.

So about 25 minutes of repeating this. I eventually got to a gas station and I pumped gas into my car. I also bought a small bag of chips, along with a bottle of Diet Pepsi.

The car parked away from the gas station. Which bothered me more. Then they not want to be seen? So I decided to call the cops.

When the cops arrived. I told them what happened and they said they'll just follow behind me to see it for themselves.

So I started driving and the cop followed. The car moved as soon as I went. It wasn't speeding like it was before. The cop followed me for about 20 minutes.

But then..I noticed there was only one set of headlights. It wasn't the cops. It was this stupid nutcase who was following me! I pulled over and went to the car. Nobody was in it. I just fainted and everything went black.

Next thing I know I'm in a hospital bed. The nurse told me I suffered many miles concussions. My arms were also bruised.

Nobody told me how. But the doctor told me I was clear to leave. My car was parked in the parking lot.

But next to it...was the damn car that followed me before...I was scared. It was like haunted or something. I don't know!

I decided to go pay for a hotel about 2 blocks from the hospital. I paid to stay for 3 nights. Which caused me $288. It was about $90 a night plus tax.

Well my room was about 3 floors below the top floor. Just to let you know, I have a fear of heights but I decided to deal with it.

I had a very nice balcony. The view of the city was very nice. I went to sleep that night.

I woke up around 8:30 a.m. I decided to go downstairs to get some breakfast. It was free with the hotel. So I took a good amount of food. I went outside to get some fresh air. I noticed the same car was parked next to mine. I'm just standing here so damn confused. I go back in and go to my room. I ended up watching Law and Order: Special Victims Unit on the television. It's my favorite show.

I sit here wondering why this exact same car is following me.

I go out to the balcony and stand over the railing enjoying the view. Suddenly I feel something push me and I fall over the railing. I closed my eyes before I hit the ground.

But then I wake up at my house. I think it was a dream. I get up and make some coffee. I went outside to go to the store and what do you know.

The car that followed me is in my driveway.
