Neil was whizzing along the highway in his little blue car when suddenly a bit fell off. He wasn’t sure what bit it was but couldn’t stop because there was traffic everywhere and they were moving along as if in convoy at a reasonable rate.
Anyway, the car seemed to be going well, and then the outside mirrors on both sides fell off. Before he could think, the hood (bonnet) had blown off and then the trunk (boot). Next he saw a wheel race along the road ahead of him, and then another.
It didn’t take long before he was whizzing along clinging to nothing but the steering wheel. Next thing, wouldn’t you know it, even the steering wheel zoomed off into nowhere.
It was then Neil realized what had happened. A few miles back on the road he was in a car accident. He was dead. Now he was whizzing along in another dimension altogether.
Rod Serling is the one that hit him.

I know you’re a Twilight Zone fan but in this case he was hit by Mrs Maizie Jones from down the road. (She was driving a UFO)

So that was a near-life experience immediately after the death. What is interesting the protagonist’s soul appear to have merged with the car’s before the final disintegration, which was of course very vividly narrated.

Hopefully, Uma, you won’t find out in real “life” that the “final disintegration” happens in such a way!

Great story, Bruce. I’m not sure whether this actually hasn’t happened to most of us…

Your stories mostly ended with someone dying, now they begin with someone already dead! This is getting exciting 🙂

What fun to whiz along the roads without aid of a car. Think how much it would save on the gas bill!

When I was small I had a pedal car. It too worked low on gas.
