Don't Look Back...

The car he was driving suddenly gave way in the middle of nowhere. It was past midnight. The wind was howling. The foliage that lined up all the way, along the road was blowing profusely. The chants of the dog barking filling your ears like it would never end. The moon was hidden behind the dark clouds that enveloped the skies. For a moment, he hesitated. The watch showed 1.30am.

Damn! There was nobody in sight. The road was long and empty. He rested his head on the seat and closed his eyes. Not again, he sighted. This is the third time. He should have taken the car for repair a long time ago. Suddenly, a cracking noise came from a distance. It sounded like a rusty old vehicle. The noise was getting nearer and it passed him right to the side. It stopped. It was an old bus with no passenger.

"Can I help you?" the driver asked with a serious face.
"Err...yes...my car broke down," he answered.
"Good...I can help you," the driver took off his gloves and began checking the engines.

After almost half an hour, the man waited patiently. Finally, the bus driver gave him a thumbs up. The car was fixed. He took a deep breathe of relief. He went inside his car and the bus driver headed to his bus. Great. Now he could continue his journey.

Within seconds the bus zoomed away with a high speed. The man switched on his engine. The rattling noise was still very loud but as long as the car could move he was more than relieve. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. A strange smell entered his nostril. The air suddenly was as chilling as ice. He looked back through his driving mirror. His heart pounded as fast as the lighting. A figure with white clothing was sitting behind him at the back seat. Face grotesque. Long hair shuffled, untidy, unkept. He fainted.

Welcome to the new millennium. Where along with technology, cool gadgets, scientific researches, tall buildings and multimedia craves, we are still crazy over horror movies and stories like there is no tomorrow. A child with supernatural power, a house haunted with ghosts, a woman who 'keeps' a 'vampire', a man who has a 'buddy', a ghost that can fly and does kick boxing, a woman who has been 'disturbed' by a devil...and the lists go on. It seems this world we are living in, is a place full of eerie creatures and their counterparts.

But don't we all love them? Hmm...yes and no. But too much of them can make ones feel...enough is enough!:) Don't you?
