Halloween on the Creeper Trail

An Opening
There is a story from my childhood that I have never told, a fantastical tale that I know to be true, even though the passing years have undoubtedly obscured some details. I have kept the story close during my lifetime because of its unpleasant nature, but I am now prepared to account for the events.

My First Car
There are some memorable milestones in life that, when reflected on, present themselves in vivid, emotional detail. For me, one of those milestones was my first car. I remember the moment I took possession of her, the smell of the interior, the bright fall day, sitting in the driver's seat holding the wheel, and imagining all the places I would go.

Intellectual property
A metallic clinking noise somewhere close by, keeping time with the side-to-side motion of the train, is the first thing Heide Ferrone notices when regaining consciousness. Opening her eyes, she finds her face pressed against worn leather that smells of body odor and is wet from her drool. Attempting to sit up, she winces in pain from the stiffness in her lower back, and once upright, a wave of nausea washes over her, and she closes her eyes, willing it to pass.
