A cliff road incident

 It was almost 3 am in a dark cold night. He was half way in his black Mercedes riding alone, to the hill station. He was surprised about creepy things the natives told him about that road. " Dont go now for Gods sake , that cliff road is haunted " one man yelled when he shifted to first gear. It was a local folklore that a man drove his family off the cliff to death. Some say its suicide, some say its murder, some even say that man was mad or possessed by evil, and tale continues that , his thirst for blood is insatiable and his ghost haunts those who travel by the road.
His thoughts suddenly vanished as he saw a maroon contessa by the side of road. He stopped the car and looked for passengers. But there was hardly anyone inside. “The road is creepy” he told himself with a smile and pressed the axil as the car lurched forward. Taking the third hairpin he saw the contessa, which he saw before, pacing behind him. The car kept honking horns which became terribly irritating, the way it moved was quick and it seems to be carrier of tension to him. He tried to increase speed but the car, maroon contessa, seemed catching up benz with quite an ease. He started to feel uneasy about it and so he gave side for the car to past. Nevertheless, it kept pacing towards him , his heart filled chill cold in a second , it was about to crash him , it was straight cliff road and left side is steep cliff with no barriers at all…..He had nothing to do & he closed his eyes.
But nothing happened, he opened his eyes to find himself inside car. Was that just a dream? He sighed. The car was smoothly rolling up on road. Suddenly, as if he was out of sense till now, he noticed that there is a black benz moving in front.But something more shocking followed it was the realisation that , the number plate of black mercedez showed none other than his benz’s registration.
His heart started pounding fast , he had no clue what he was in to. Then an epiphany stuck him -he was riding a maroon contessa. He began sweating , his hands went cold , back to senses he kept honking the horn , he pressed the acceleration to its full throttle , he had to catch his car. The benz was cruising faster , but he cant give up. He kept honking and pressed its accelaration to the fullest. The contessa was racing fast enough behind that black mercedez.It was straight cliff road and left side is steep cliff with no barriers at all , and he found his benz slowing down. He applied brakes,but the car neither stopped nor slowed. It raced fast to his black mercedez , as he got closer he was freaked out & he quickly turned the steering wheel
He heard tires screeching , and loosing control , he had nothing to do. The very next moment, he & his car flew off the cliff!!!
Next morning police found a black mercedez down the cliff with its owner dead in crash.
"We told him yesterday not to drive by night , he never heard , this is cliff road saheb , its cursed " , someone told police .
