RE: Overdrive: a short fiction story [Part II]
Man, I hear stories that it happens. If I were the driver I'll probably just try my best to focus on the road and let the hitchhiker be, whether it's really there or not. I think I was the only who noticed the floating bit because I was so close, the rest didn't.
I guess I would also do the same, just like what they say curiosity kills the cat but the lingering terror must still make it hard to focus. I am never going to travelling alone lol
There are also stories circulating in our town about a bridge in our area where you need to hit the horn first before crossing because no matter how fast you go the engine will die, 2 of my friends experienced it themselves so that made it creepier for me.
These stories seem like a good plot for a manga. I recall a similar story about the engine dying. Might we be from the same place? lol.
The story I wrote took place on the road on our way to Laguna coming from Batangas.
That may be so, but the thing is, a horror story rarely gets popular in that industry but when they do they get real big and gets niche followers. I miss the old books though that I bought in bookstores when I was younger about collections of horror stories, they made me afraid of staying up late alone but the internet made me resistant to that now lol.
I am from Nueva Ecija, but I think Laguna has more of those horror stories because of the topography there. I have been there when I was in high school for a jamborette and in the place we were stationed all I can see is vast mountain and forest. When night falls I will just sleep after eating dinner haha.
You make a very valid point. Magakas like Junji Ito is the only one I know who got popular in the industry. But his works are too extreme for me XD.
I think you've been to Los Banos, Laguna. That's like top 1 creepy place here.
Yeah they are how do I put it, more on the disturbing side than scary? haha
Oh you nailed it, it was Los Banos and all I can see is nature but at night it really is scary lol
