We were a few miles from my house when she began staring at me in the rear view mirror. _What is she looking at? Why won't she say anything?_ I stared back, remaining silent. Remember, I'm not in the car, I'm outside the car. Okay, physically I’m inside the car, but really I’m outside the car. I continue to get nervous as she turns right down a dark road instead of left toward my house. I was about to ask her what she was doing, but then we hit a speed bump and I flew off the back seat, hitting my head on the ceiling of her Honda. Ouch! A Honda headache. Anyway, she smiled at me as she increased speed. Something was eerily wrong. _At the next red light or stop sign I'm going to jump out._ &quot;Where are you going?&quot; I finally asked her. &quot;I thought you were taking me home.&quot; She said nothing. I noticed a red light up ahead so I prepared to make a break for it. _This chick is nuts._ The car stopped. But before I could exit the back seat, she locked the doors on me. I then saw an axe in the front seat. 2007-12-20T04:39:58Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/16220 <p>Sorry for the gruesome sequel&#8230;must have been something I ate. I thought of the title first, using the word &#8220;axes&#8221; instead of &#8220;exes&#8221;. Then I wrote the ficlet to match my title. I know&#8230;it was dumb. But that&#8217;s the way of the Ficlet.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/16220?basename=29387 2007-12-20T04:39:58Z MRay http://ficlets.com/authors/mray <p>That is a horrible continuation of my story. I don&#8217;t want to be killed by an axe! And in all fairness, axe or no axe, I could have taken-<del>just a drama chick.<br />Seriously, that was a great, dark turn to my story. I love that it went a completely different direction than what I had been thinking</del>-the true beauty of ficlets! Awesomeness! And, of course, nicely written, even staying close to the original style.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/16220?basename=29141 2007-12-18T22:09:14Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>ha ha, a Honda headache.
