Big Black Car
by Michael C.
Keith
Mavis looked into his rear-view
mirror and saw a big black car behind him. When
he checked his driver’s side mirror, the big
black car was not there. Nor was the big black
car evident when he checked his passenger’s
side mirror. He returned his gaze to the rear-view
mirror and found that the big black car was not
only there but had moved closer. Again, he looked
into his side view mirrors and was relieved to
see the big black car, although it was only
inches from his bumper. When he turned his
attention back to the rear-view mirror, the big
black car was no longer there. It was at that
moment that Mavis experienced intense pressure in
his ears and felt weightless. To his total
astonishment, the big black car was now in front
of him. Then it was gone, and the road before him
opened to the stars.
