Tom’s Jacket

Rhys Williams

It was midnight and the man was driving on the paved road while listening to Bon Jovi. He really didn’t want to be driving around at this time, but Tommy forgot his jacket so he hopped in his Honda Civic and began driving. As he was driving, he realized that not only had these street lamps been seemingly placed evenly, but he left his phone at home. However, he chose to ignore both of these things. Then suddenly he looked up and saw a person standing in the middle of the road. He swerved so he did not hit the person. He crashed into the side of the road, and then everything went black. He woke up soon after and realized what had happened. He stepped out of his car to view the damage, and find the person he almost hit. He didn’t find the person, but he did see the damage and it was awful! The damage was so bad he couldn’t start the car. “Well,” he thought to himself, “Only one way to go,” and grabbed Tommy’s jacket which looked untouched despite him crashing his car. He slowly began walking in the direction of Tommy’s house. “I covered most of the distance so it shouldn’t be too far,” he thought to himself. After a couple of minutes he began noticing that although he was walking, he really wasn’t going anywhere. Suddenly, he noticed his shadow on the ground became very obvious because it was standing in between two lights that had a tanish glow, and that’s when he realized it was a car! And he turned around and saw it flying at him. He closed his eyes waiting for impact!
