Haunted Highways
We’ve all heard the urban legend; a boy is driving along on a dark and stormy night. Perhaps there is a layer of fog that is decreasing the visibility. As the boy drives along he happens to spot a beautiful girl in a fancy dress, standing cold and alone on the road. The boy stops, offering the girl a ride and a chance to get out of the elements. As they drive along, the girl is quiet, upset over something. The boy tries to get a name or any information but she’s very tight lipped. At a stop the girl gets out, next to a cemetery. Later that evening, the boy will hear a story about a girl that was killed on that road, hit by a car as she waited for her prom date to pick her up. The boy will see a picture of her and realize that it was the girl he’d just given a ride to.
