… I thought I lost them when, BANG, BANG... they shot out my rear window.
A thousand cuboid crystals flew about my head, bouncing off the windscreen and making an annoying little sprinkling sound as they hit the leather seats. The glass particles stung the naked flesh of my arms; they hit the side of my face and peppered my scalp. Pinprick cuts, specks of bright red blood appeared like evil goosebumps over every inch of my exposed skin.
I got away that time by driving past the truck and cutting over three lanes. I only just made the exit, the back-end fishtailing as I fought the wheel, hitting the ramp at seventy miles an hour. I am still uncertain how I made that turn without losing it. I will no doubt brag about my skill as a driver sometime in the future, perhaps when I tell the story over a cold beer in some shithole bar in the middle of nowhere. But the truth is, I was milliseconds away from death; only Lady Luck got me out of that one...

A tale of an urban spirit in this modern world of mobile technology. Libby and Simon are travelling North, to Maynard, when a glitch with the Sat-Nav sets off a strange string of events which exposes something that could happen to any one of us, at any time.
…Within a few miles, a thick, heavy, dark layer of omnipotent grey storm clouds filled the sky and blocked out most of the daylight. I adjusted my driving position, sitting a little more upright.
I switched my headlamps on as I peered into the gloom ahead.
‘At the next junction, turn right’
In this dim half-light, the woman’s voice coming from the Sat-Nav seemed somewhat reassuring rather than an annoyance as it was earlier.
The heavy atmosphere was interfering with the radio signal.
I changed channels by reaching down and pressing a few buttons until I found one playing something soft and gentle, something relaxing, which was not as affected by the storm as some others.
‘Keep your eyes on the road’
I glanced at Libby. She was still in a deep sleep.
I must be hearing things.
I wound the window down enough so I could smoke another one of my little white coffin nails. The breeze was far cooler now that the rainclouds were directly above us. The air was already damp with impending rain.
I placed the cigarette between my lips, holding my lighter to its tip. As I flicked the cogwheel, I fumbled, dropping it.
I looked down. It was on the floor between my legs. Keeping one hand on the steering wheel and one eye on the road, I fished about with my free hand until I touched the lighter.
‘That’s how accidents happen’
I froze, the unlit cigarette still in my mouth, lighter in hand.
"What the hell…" I was bemused.
‘When you’re not watching the road, that’s when accidents happen’
It was the woman's voice from the Sat-Nav, she was speaking to me.
No, it could not be, that is impossible.
Was I dreaming? I had fallen asleep.
It was a daydream. I shook my head to clear it.
"This is not real", I mumbled to myself as I lit my cigarette, winding the window down a touch further to let more cool air in.
‘Oh, this is real, Simon’…
