Eerie Tales

The Ride

The chilling air of the air conditioner on the bus I was riding on was making my body hairs freeze. Plus, the rain outside was adding to the cold temperature I was feeling.

It was seven in the evening, and I was still on a bus. If I hadn't chosen to finish my remaining work, I would have already gotten home by now.

There were a few passengers left on the bus, including me. I was sitting alone on a three-seater seat while the others were sitting at a distance from one another.

There was no passenger left behind my back, either, because most of the passengers were sitting near the front.

I got bored, so I decided to open my cellular data and check my social media. I was just scrolling through f*******: and I found no important information, so I just turned off my phone once again.

My eyelids felt heavy, so I closed them to take a siesta. But in the middle of my brief sleep, my phone fell off my hand, so I had to pick it up instantly.

As I was about to pick up my phone, a hand showed up and grabbed it in haste.

My jaw dropped. I blinked a couple of times and looked below once more, but my phone was totally gone.

My heart went wild. I breathed hard and deeply. Shivers ran down my spine as I felt my body hairs become electrified.

The last passenger who sat at the back of my seat had already left the bus twenty minutes ago.

I tried to calm my nerves as I breathed slowly. I carefully turned around and peeked over the seat to see what was behind me.

I almost screamed when I saw a face with a grinning smile looking at me. Her face was dead pale and her eyes were bruised. She was grinning, but all I could see was black liquid oozing from her mouth.

I closed my eyes and slid down my seat. I felt my heart constrict as I breathed heavily.

Just let me go.... I didn't mean to do it. Just forgive me.

I gathered all my courage and strength to peek over my seat once again to see if she was still there or gone. It was a good

thing she was gone and I found my phone on the seat.

I heaved a deep sigh and immediately picked up my phone. Having been traumatized by what I'd experienced, I transferred to another seat nearer to the other passengers.

I sat and calmed my system. My hand tightly held my phone. I fixed my gaze ahead, but the event earlier was still playing inside my head.

I caught something unusual in my peripheral vision and instantly gazed at it. My lips parted as my eyes widened in horror when I saw the same girl at the back of my seat earlier outside the window.

She was waving her hand at me...

She was the girl I ran over with my car, accidentally...

But she still hasn't received her justice.
