Fantastic Horror

Inspired by David Barber I've also had a go at the Fantastic Horror writing competition - see here. The challenge was to come up with thirteen lines of dialogue based on a passenger being picked up.

Crossley Sports Two Litre

“Jump in.”

“Thanks awfully for stopping, old fruit. Really thought I had no hope. I say, what a simply spiffing car!”

“That’s very kind of you. Hope you don’t mind if we keep the top down, old chum.”

“No, no – by all means do. Isn’t this is a Crossley Sports?”

“Yes the two litre.”

“There aren’t so many about now we’re supposed to be in austere times.”

“No, true, but I have found it very difficult to give up this particular indulgence.”

“Well, it certainly has an impressive turn of speed. This reminds me …”

“Yes?”

“Wasn’t there a fatal accident involving one of these on this stretch about a year ago?”

“Now you mention it, I believe there was.”

“It was a tragedy. Both occupants killed.”

“Yes, it was awful. Particularly, for me.”
