New Halloween Ambience.
Driving alone in the dark night in the early hours, its been 15 miles since I last saw a town, only thick dense forest either side of this thin winding strip of road.
There was a news bulletin about two hours back that has been weighing heavily on my mind, three members of a Satanic cult are know to operate in the area and several dismembered bodies have been found in shallow graves over the last three months.
Just as I was taking a minute to think about the poor victims and families something shot out in front of the car, I stamped on the break pedal and momentarily lost traction, the breaks screeched out into the deep forest night and the car came to a halt sideways in the center of the road.
The panic immediately set in, the realization of being carjacked out on this lonely section of highway filled me with dread. Fortunately for me, I saw the tail end of a deer disappear between the trees, I blew out a big gasp of air.
I took a moment or two to compose myself and with the back of my hand mopped the sweat from my brow. I had a good long stare at myself in the rear view mirror to reassure myself then turned the key, as the car chugged into life I felt a huge sense of relief.
I pressed the gas pedal and the car slowly started to pull away and as I gradually picked up speed, the dials were suddenly illuminated with a soft red glow, the low fuel light just came on......
