Last night I needed to make a quick run into town so I jumped into the van and headed out. We live in the country so there are no street lights to guide the way and all is quite dark with only the glow of the dash lights to see by. I had been driving for a few minutes when I suddenly felt a presence near me when out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a head silently and slowly moving up beside me from behind. Instantly I began a reaction that nearly made me lose control of the van as I was preparing to do battle with this intruder in my vehicle, being of the some what aggressive nature I was not about to be taken without a fight. Regaining control of the van with one hand I lashed out with the other using considerable force expecting resistance from the person about to receive the blow. Much to my surprise there was no resistance at all nearly causing me to throw myself out of the drivers seat and yet again nearly losing control of the van and veering off to the right this time towards a ditch. Regaining control before it was to late once again I am in control of the van and desperately trying to find where it is the intruder had gone to.
Flipping on the interior lights I quickly scanned the vehicle for the location of this evil person in the rear view mirror and spotted him in the rear seats leering at me confident in his ability to control me as the fool I was. With a dropped jaw I stared into the cold empty starring eyes and a grin that could only be wiped from his laughing cynical face with a vengeance born from anger and fear that comes only from being taken by surprise.
I pulled the van over to the side of the road as quickly as I could and racing into the back I attacked him with a fury for having scared me the way he had, sticking my finger deep into his eye his head popped with a bang bring an end to my granddaughters balloon of evil.
Moral of the story is check the vehicle BEFORE you get in! :)
Barney where are you when I need you most!
