Waving

The hilly terrain made driving tricky.

In truth, he got a kick out of pushing the car to its limit, taking bends faster than he should and almost becoming airborne as he crested the hills. He was comfortable enough doing this as this was a part of the countryside that was rarely used with hardly any traffic. Besides, it was a clear, dry day with good visibility, unlike the recent bad weather. He was making the most of it. Ideal conditions for letting his hair down. In front of him was a long stretch of practically flat road, well before the next hill, ideal for really opening it up. He was watching the speed dial rise when he became aware of the figure on the side of the road. It was some distance away and waving something.

He began to slow, wondering if they needed help, although there was no car, just him and what appeared to be a flag. It was red and he seemed to be waving it. It could be a trick. Someone trying to get him to stop for some reason. He wouldn’t need a flag for that, he thought, he would just need to stick his thumb out. He was obviously some kind of crazy character, out here in the middle of nowhere. He kept slowing and cautiously approached. He had a bad feeling about it. He wasn’t going to stop.

As he crept past, he tried to get a good look at him. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing! He was looking at himself. It was some kind of doppelganger. No, this couldn’t be. He had to be mistaken. Perhaps he hadn’t really got a good look at him. Moving on past the figure, he then wondered whether what he was looking at was actually real. Was he imagining it? None of it made sense.

Climbing the next hill, he kept watching what had to be an idiot, still standing there, still waving the flag. He was still checking the nutter in his rear vision mirror, when he came to the top of the hill, only to slam on the brakes! Just a short distance down the slope a huge tree lay across the road. It must have been brought down in the recent storm. He would have to report it. He got out of the car to use his mobile.

Of course, when he looked back, all he saw was a long, empty stretch of road…
