Slice
A City bus pulls away from a Stop 'n' Go Gas Station. The clock on the across the street read 9:03 a.m. As the bus pulls away a young, blonde women becomes into view. She is bending down to pick up her luggage. Her black skirt and shirt stand out against the fall foliage. She quickly flags down a taxi and gets inside.
Courtney Davison- West Harrington College, please
Cabby- You're the first Westy I've had all year
Courtney- A What?
Cabby- A Westy.
Courtney -...
Cabby- A Harrington Kid. I was surprised because Westys usually never come out to the city.
Courtney- Well, this is my first time out of Texas.
Cabby- I guess if you live somewhere that big you have to expect that.
For the first time since Courtney got in the taxi, the cabby looked at her in the rearview mirror. Her long blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail and her deep green eyes were focused at the blurred scenery outside the window. Her face was painted with freckles and the cabby couldn't help but think to himself "I need her".
Courtney- How far away is West Harrington?
Cabby- About an hour away. You still want me to take you or would you rather take the bus, cab fares sure are high.
Her beauty made him feel guilty for the high fares
Courtney- Taxis are fine. Besides, you seem trustworthy.
The cabby turned on the car and started down the long road ahead of them. About every few minutes or so, Courtney noticed the cabby keep checking the rearview mirror.
Courtney- Is there something wrong?
Cabby- No, Why?
Courtney- I just noticed you have been checking your mirror ever since we left the gas station.
Her southern accent fueled the driver's lust.
Cabby- Oh. Just a habit I guess.
About a half an hour later Courtney finally speaks up again.
Courtney- Are we almost there?
Cabby- Actually we're about five minutes away. Do you mind if I make a quick stop? Gotta take a leak.
Courtney- Ughh but make it quick, Courtney glanced at the clock. It read 9:50 a.m. I'm kind of late.
The Cabby pulled over to the side of the road (it was a pretty deserted road and the only car they had seen pulled over about a mile back) and got out. He walked out into the woods until he was out of Courtney's sight. He unzipped his pants and relieved himself. The cabby turned around and started heading back to the taxi.
Courtney- Oh my gosh, this guy is really slowing me down.
Courtney decided she would take a quick nap. She rested her head against the window and shut her eyes. A few minutes later she heard the door open
Courtney- Finally. Step on it bub.
From her sleeplike state she saw the driver nod his head up and down.
The cabby zipped up and walked back to the taxi.
Cabby- What the?
The cabby ran out into the road and saw his taxi coming towards him. The cabby was frozen with fear. He could not get his legs to move. The taxi was advancing on him. The cabby assumed the taxi was going at least 80. Within the next three seconds the taxi was going to hit him. The cabby quickly jumped out of the way and landed on the road behind the taxi.
Cabby- That was close.
Just as the cabby was getting up the taxi flew at him in reverse.
Bump
Courtney suddenly woke up
Courtney- What the hell was that? Was that a deer?
Courtney sat up and looked out the back window. She saw the cabby's lifeless corpse in the middle of the road. Blood was everywhere.
Courtney- Get me out of here!
Courtney continued screaming
Courtney- Who the hell are you? You sicko!
Courtney examined the driver more closely. He was wearing an all black suit. He even had a black mask and black gloves. The suit was so baggy she could not make out the gender of the driver.
The driver pulled the cab over, opened the back passenger door and dragged Courtney out.
Courtney- Let go of me you creep!
Courtney started kicking and screaming. She did whatever she could to break free. The driver would not let her go. The driver in the black pulled a knife from somewhere in the suit and brought it to the girls neck. Courtney started screaming
Courtney- Somebody help me! Somebody! Help!
Courtney was now crying. The person in the black suit brought the knife closer to her neck and said
Killer- If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to here it, does it make a sound?
Then the driver sliced her throat and started walking to their car, about a mile back.
