Slope

slope image

This story happened over 5 years ago. The time was 6:30. It rained a cold rain. I couldn't see around clearly for the mist. I drove on the slope alone.

I was tired. When I started to drive, I didn't see anything white. But on that slope, it had snowed the night. I could see the rest of the snow on the side of the road. Some hours had passed since it had changed to rain from snow.

I drove my car in the center to avoid the snow and I drove very slowly. I saw the cars came towards me very clearly but could not see cars drove the same way. I drove in the center lane on that slop.

After a few minutes I recognized another light of the car behind me. That car came very quickly. At first I thought to escape to the outside lane. But that car was too fast. If the driver of that car wanted to pass me, he would use the outside lane.

But the car behind my car didn't change lanes and flushed his high headlamps at me. I wondered, I knew I was tired. I didn't want to drive faster.

I recognized he didn't want to change lanes and he wanted to make me change. The two headlights threatened me like the eyes of carnivores.

So I decided, I would change lanes and let that car pass my car. I switched on the left-turn signal and steered left. The next moment my car lost control! I saw one fence in front of me.

At that moment, I didn't hear any sounds, like silent movie.

I wondered "That fence looks very expensive". It was a serious moment, but I thought about such a stupid thing. But I was sure that the fence would stop my car.

The next moment, my car was in the air. I saw the gray sky. I couldn't recognize what had happened. I wandered "Can I go to the company, tomorrow?" I thought a stupid thing, again.

"Zoon, zoon, zoon," I heard the sounds of a collision. I couldn't recognize the situation still. I could see a big tree in front of me. I turned the I.G. off and started to think. But recognizing was difficult for me. I thought that maybe I didn't want to recognize the real situation. I could understand that a tree was in front of me and had stopped my car. I looked back because I felt another car would fall down from behind me.

Over that tree the high cliff still remained. If that tree hadn't stopped my car, I would have fallen more than a hundred meters. I looked back again. 10 meters above me, I could see that fence. And I saw something near that fence. I climbed that slope.

I reached the road. It was strange that I didn't feel cold. I recognized what was near that fence. Those were flowers put there by someone, and some cigarettes. I wanted to smoke. I thought about taking one cigarette from theme. But I wonder if I had some cigarettes in my pocket. I checked. Oh, there were only cigarettes in my pocket.

I wondered while smoking the first cigarette "No!" I looked behind the cliff and found my car with no driver. I was afraid to find the driver that was I! "Who was dead?" My hands started to shake. And I wondered why the fast car had gone without helping me.

I observed around there and found some snow remained between lanes. I could guess that snow made my car lose control and there was the possibility that the fast car touched my car.

After that I called the police. They said me "some young men died there one month ago". And I had known that young men as one of my university's juniors.

Some friend told me that the fast car must have been his ghost.
