Writing prompt #1
After long days work, I exit the building in a heist to try and escape the heavy rain that consumed the night, It is about a five-minute walk to my car, and I start to get eerie in the back of my mind. Paying no attention to it I continue to make my way to the car, a loud crack of thunder fills the sky as I finally make it to my car door. I reach into my bag to try and find my keys, I have never been the most organized person so it takes me a minute to find them in the mess. I pull my keys out of my bag and stick the shaft of the key into the keyhole, I turn the key and hear a little click as the door unlocks. I stick my hand out to open the car door when suddenly I feel someone's hand grab my shoulder. I spin around as fast as I could, then being greeted by the shadow of an unknown face. The man begins to speak in a low gravelly voice, where are you going the man asks as I start to reach for the car door once again. None of your business I respond in a rude tone of voice due to the eerie feeling starting to rise. Once more the mystery man grabs my shoulder and tries to spin me around. I let out a small scream as another crack of thunder fills the sky. I jerk my arm trying to get out of his grasp, to my surprise it works and I quickly fling open the car door and lock it behind me. The man is now standing outside of my car window with a sour look on his face, he must not have liked what I did. I stick my key into the car and start the engine, the man still standing outside my window I begin to drive away while letting out a loud sigh of relief.
Making it to the end of the parking lot I hear an engine starting up from behind me. to my dismay, I look into the side mirrors and the man is gone. I mutter the word shit under my breath before seeing a large black vertical right behind my car. Once I see a clearing in the road I take my chance and get out of the god-forsaken parking lot, Hearing loud taps on the roof of my car from the rain starting to pick up even more. I live about an hour's drive from my work so I'm in for a hell of a drive due to all the traffic. It seems I'm not the only one in a rush to get home t this hour, turning on the radio to drown out some of the thunder and rain I hear a familiar voice. It is the voice of one of my closest friends, she works at the radio station during the later hour. Listening to her voice calms me after the whole ordeal with the mysterious man and I begin to smile. She begins to talk about a string of mysterious car accidents that has been going on for the last week or so. I had heard about this before, and from what I can recall none of them have been solved and only one person had survived, claiming to have seen a large black car before being followed by a bright light and then waking up in the hospital. Reading about this story in the paper kind of freaked me out.
About half an hour later the traffic on the roads starts the clear up and I am almost home. starting to think about what had happened earlier in the night I take a deep breath and close my eyes only for a second. My eyes jolt open again when I hear someone honk their horn, I turn around to see the same car from earlier hot on my tail. In a panic, I slam my foot down on the gas to speed up, the roads are freakishly empty. still following me at a fast pace I go reach for my phone in hopes to call for help, I begin to dial 911 when I am blinded by a bright light coming my way. It is just as I had read in the paper. I press the call button on my phone quickly before I was hit from behind. slamming my face into the dashboard and triggering my airbag I am knocked unconscious. I feel a sharp pain go through my entire body, As I come back to consciousness I scream in pain. Slowly I struggle to open my eye but once I do I am again blinded by a bright light. I let out a loud scream once again when I remember what had just happened. looking around me it seems that my car had flipped and I was lying half out of my car's front window, my arms covered in blood with large chunks of glass sticking out of them. I could tell that it was still heavily raining and the cold water droplets start to wash the crimson blood from my body. I try to move but to no avail letting out blood curtailing scream for the sheer amount of pain my body was in, I look around again as the bright light finally turns out. My vision still blurred from the blood running down my face from when I hit my head, I see a figure that seems to be walking towards me and I call out for help. the figure still keeping a steady walking pace I began to feel that same eerie feeling from earlier. the figure finally reaches my car and bends down into my line of sight, I start to panic and scream again as I am greeted with the same face as the one in the parking lot, the man speaks but I can not hear what he is saying due to the blood filling my ears. I try to move again but still no luck, The man grabs my arm and squeezes it, I scream louder than ever before which causes my ears to start to work again. tears start to flow fast down my face as the man speaks again, this time I can hear his clearly. I asked you where you were going, don't you know it's rude to not answer someone when they ask you a question. I scream and cry louder hearing a crack of thunder right over my head. The man removes his hand from my arm and reaches into his coat pocket pulling out a large silver knife, he holds the knife out and points it at me. he begins to drag the knife down my arm, more blood pouring out of it. as I start to lose consciousness again I hear sirens in the distance, before I fully fall unconscious I hear the man say shit before he runs away leaving a trail of my blood behind him from his dripping blade.
I feel my body being moved and muffled speaking around me but no matter how hard I try I can't make any of it out. I feel a jolt of electricity hit my body. 1 2 3 CLEAR. once again. 1 2 3 CLEAR. And then nothing, no pain or distant voice, no eerie feeling, I feel at peace at last.
