10/18-10/22 Scary Story

One night Nate Bailey was driving home from his girlfriend’s house way past sun down. It was about a twenty minute drive back to his house but for Nathan it felt like an hour. It was fall, so the air was chilly and the trees were leafless. He was speeding down all the back roads just so he could get home faster and safe. Nate normally didn’t like being by himself, he was a baby when it came to being home alone. But he knew the faster he drove the faster he would get home to his mamma. Then all of a sudden, there was a big thump against his car. He hit the brakes as hard as he could while screaming some inappropriate words. So many things were running through his mind he didn’t know what just happened. Did I just hit someone he thought? So he got out of the car and walked around looking for anything that he possibly hit. And lying there right in front of his car was a body. The body and face didn’t look familiar to Nate since after all, he was new to the area. I can’t have a criminal record he thought. His mind was spinning; he didn’t know if he should call the cops or hide the body. And of course, since he was really thinking straight, he decided to hide the body. He took the body and started dragging it into the nearest field. He dragged the body until his arms got too tired to drag it anymore. There were no houses around so he thought he would be okay and nobody would notice it. After he covered the body with leafs and dirt, he sprinted back to his car and drove away. He assured himself that he would never think about this night ever again in his whole life. He will pretend it never happened. But as Nate walked through the door into his house, the horrible night memories were just getting started. Hanging from the staircase was the ghost of the body he hit just a few minutes ago. He blinked super quickly and all of a sudden it was gone. He thought to himself maybe he is just seeing things, since after all this was a very tragic event. But as Nathan was washing his face, he looked into the mirror and the same body was standing over him holding a knife above his head. This night for Nate was the scariest night he has ever lived. He crawled into bed and had nightmares the whole rest of the night. When he woke up, he was hoping the haunting was over with. But sure enough it wasn’t. Even years after Nate hit the man; he was still haunted all day and all night.
