Okay, not sure I even like my own work here, but when I read the challenge, the song became immediately and irrevocably stuck in my head. So I had to work it into a ficlet. So sue me. Just hope AC/DC doesn’t.
interesting. not quite my idea of horror-a song that won’t turn off? so i’m not sure if it quite fits the challenge, but very nice ficlet as a stand-alone. if you could explain to me how it’s horror (as I’m probably just not getting something), please do via note.
the song itself suggests that he, the driver, is headed to some unforsaken place. i liked it . could feel the intensity, the enclosure of inside a car added to the suspense.
What a great ficlet! That song has always had a creepy devilish quality to it. I’ve been out of town so I have just started reading these… Perhaps he’ll take an offramp to hell some time in the future as in Alan Dean Foster’s excellent book, “To the Vanishing Point.”
Mystery upon mystery – What’s he driving away from? What’s with the objects on the seat next to him? Why does the radio still play when he’s turned it off? What happens at the end of the song?
