Note from the Author:
Sorry I didn't have enough time to update on Friday, let alone go near a computer. It's not like that many people are even reading the story. In compensation for those few who are actually interested in my story, I'll update tomorrow. :D

Before she was even able to see anything, a loud sound had drowned out the honking and screaming behind her right as she turned around. It was a loud, metal-crunching noise, as if something heavy had fallen on a car nearby. The crowd behind her had responded to this with even more yelling in return. "Fucking Inviso-Bill!" was clearly heard from the man making rude gestures in the car on her right. Hmmm? Inviso-Bill? Alice had heard that name before.
At the store she'd been working part-time in, an old woman had warned her about 'Inviso-Bill'. "You seem like a nice girl." the woman confided. "You better watch out for that Inviso-Bill; he likes young girls." Just as Alice looked up from the register to hand the elderly woman the change, and reply to this, the stranger had already sat back down in her cart and left the bookstore on it.
Even though Alice was a B/C-student, and failed Algebra 2 last year ( it wasn't her fault the teacher didn't find some of her witty remarks as funny as she and the rest of her class did), she wasn't a fool. Mama didn't raise no fool. That old matron must have known the 'young lady' who was affected by this 'Inviso-Bill'. After all, the woman was wearing all-black; a sign of mourn. Had she lost a loved-one to 'Inviso-Bill'?
Before Alice could come with a good answer, she remembered what was going on around her; the situation she was in. The screaming and the noise faded back into her mind, causing a throbbingheadache to overcome her(hey, at least the loud honking stopped). The cars around her were empty of all passengers, and the sky was almost completely dark. People were now running past her car. How long had she spaced out? She relied once more on her promotional watch: 6: 08 PM. Alice started to panic as reality settled in. Another loud boom was heard. I guess I didn't miss that much, thought Alice. Whatever was going on behind her before was still there now. She stumbled underneath the back seat of her car when she heard yet another boisterous boom resonate in the distance.
Then it finally hit her; not physically, but mentally: turn on the radio, you idiot! She scolded herself as she reached the for the power button on the radio. After raising the volume just enough and twisting the dial this way and that, a soothing voice of a man emerged from the static of the radio:
"--of the day. In other news, the Casper High school Football team has made it to the District Finals, and will be playing next Sunday at the Amity Stadium. On darker note, two unidentified ghosts… one of them is probably that Inviso-Freak… are terrorizing the Amity highway Interchange. An evacuation is in progress. I repeat--"
She immediately turned off the radio, too afraid to hear the report again. Wait... ghosts? Do ghosts even exist? Alice had just thought the ghosts were just a lame hoax to get more tourists to come. Then again, Amity Park wasn't exactly bragging about their ghosts like other cities or towns would about them. What if these ghosts were above her car? Honestly, Alice didn't believe in such thingsas ghosts, but what if the voice from the radio wasn't lying? There definitely was something outside though, judging by the distant sounds behind her.
Then, unexpectedly, a harsh crunch-noise came from the top of her own car. The glass shattered and the roof caved in, but Alice didn't even dare to let out a single sound as she felt the carpeted roof pressing against her knees, trapping her inside the car. Whatever had fallen on her car, it fell hard. The cold air from outside quickly filled the area around her, and she felt the chilly gust whiten her cheeks. Alice shuddered at the horrible feeling that has overcome her, afraid of what would happen next. Then a voice of a boy above her yelled angrily "Fuck, I should've gone intangible!" The boy's voice trailed away at the end of the sentence, as if he was... flying? He must have crashed into her car, but... how could he still be alive! He couldn't be a ghost, she thought, ghosts had no solid forms... or did they?
Alice couldn't dwell on this for another second, for her trail of thought was interrupted yet again, but this time by a loud wailing noise. She clasped her hands to her ears, in effort to block the ghastly sound out, though it didn't help much. She imagined her ears were going to explode from the piercing noise, at this rate; her ears were ringing in pain. Alice tried to scream for help, but not even a whisper was heard out of her mouth. The sound had flooded and filtered her mind of all thoughts. Then the image of the car she was trapped in gradually began to blur around her, until she fainted.
