The Airbag

The Airbag
Copyright 2015 Vivid Mind
A paranormal and extreme horror short story.

When a mild-mannered and very nice English lady named Connie was allowed to get to know an amoral and heartless killer named Otto, it was only a matter of time before his true colours were revealed to her. Because he liked her too much to snuff the life out of her, - like he had without hesitation of all the others - when in the middle of a driving lesson one day with him, in his car one afternoon, a speeding driver came out of nowhere and slammed on the brakes in front of them. Smashing into the back of the speeding driver’s vehicle, the impact triggered the airbags in Otto’s car to swell into his and Connie’s faces, causing her to throw her head back in a reflex response. Suffering whiplash, she then slumped to the side and knocked her head, resulting in concussion – triggering off psychic and spirit mediumship abilities which began enabling her to see every detail of his victims’ last agonising moments; trusting and gullible women whom he’d tricked into his car and home before systematically torturing and then murdering them all. This is what happened when Otto began to notice a change in Connie’s attitude toward him as she tried to find safe ways to avoid him to save her own life.

Does she succeed and does she do it alone or is there a knight in shining armour to assist her?
