Drive more carefully!

This story was really good! The guy in the story, Scott, is basically every other jerk that you run into on the road who is driving too fast, on their cell phone, and driving recklessly. He does end up getting into several accidents and of course it's everyone's fault but his own, how dare anyone suggest that he is less than perfect! Haha!

The ending reminded me of an old episode of the Twilight Zone, but it was a great ending and Scott does end up getting what is coming to him in the end.

It's a good story and it's worth taking a few minutes to check it out.

Free short story for Kindle.
Scott talks on his cellphone while driving too fast. Too many things occupy his mind when he should be paying attention to his driving.
After numerous accidents there is, inevitably, a fatality.
Scott better change his ways - or is it already too late?

Epic revenge

Just a regular guy, a regular (none the less sad) incident, a little bit of a spook and the most perfect revenge make up this short tale.
