Unexpected Visions

Another Short story

"Sure no doubt about it" Said the 16 year old as he drove in a obscure highway with no signs of light or life. Only the moon, the stars, and he's sister who was sitting just next to him.

William was going to drop off he's sister at the college. 

"That's the only thing I hate about my college, driving in this damn dark highway that gives me the creeps every time I pass by it" Said William's sister Marie. 

William was really focus on his driving, he wanted to get as fast as he could out of there too. Specially because he saw a weird light just at the back of them, so he put the foot on the gas, but yet not trying to scare his sister.

They were both silent for a while, only the engine of the car invanding the dull sounds of the night in the desert.

"And the girl?" Asked Marie all of the sudden. 

"What Girl?" Asked William. 

William did know about the''Girl''. It was someone who he liked, but got over it, or so he thought because he kept thinking of her all of the days, even at night before he went to sleep.

For william's sake, the city lights were already ahead of him. 

Changing conversation he asked:

"I have to come pick you up tomorrow right?" 

He was already parking in front of the college. 

"Yeah Tomorrow at 8 AM" Answered back Marie

"Goodbye" Said Marie

William just waved back at her and so he left.

William never liked the desert and he specially hated it at night where you couldn't see anything. He still felt scared from the white flash of light he saw while they were driving on the highway, he kept thinking about as he drove to the city. Colorful lights shone all over the street and it seemed there was a lot of movement with the people walking everywhere and traffic going crazy. 

He finally managed to get out of the city and go to the darkness again, amazingly, there weren't any cars. 

After a while of driving just straight ahead, he thought that maybe he was lost or something. because the highway just went straight in and as he got furder, darkness got denser. 

All of the sudden, a white light shone infront him, covering his car. Michael let a cry for hep and covered his eyes. Then he oponed them again.

Now he was inside of his car, in a white space, just floating around. Everything was white. 

He watched everything amazed and scared. 

Then a black dot appear in the distance, and the black dot started forming a spider web of darkness. 

Suddenly William was in the dark highway again driving.

I was not sure where you were going with this and I still do not know where we went! All I can possibly imagine is a spaceship landing area because of the white light.

this is the closest thing to a classic short story that I have read from you Lizardo
it shows growth and maturity as a writer

as for the story itself...
i think its about being visited by your past...

but like in the form of a person/specter

and the highway is a kind of metaphor for life
like ''the road of life'', which is constantly shifting, and changing...

my take


this was your best

i thought it was just a short short

but i could see it being a two parter

[Lizardo]

I know right? But I'm thinking of a another thing, like maybe this one could the highway of life like you said, the other one could the rollercoaster or something like that. here I'll tell you my idea better on the message
