A cryptic story for you! Enjoy! :D
It is a dark, gloomy mountain road - no houses in sight, with neither moonlight nor streetlamps.
I am driving quite fast, wanting to get home as soon as possible.
Then suddenly a person runs out into the road in front of me.
I slam on the brakes and manage to avoid crashing into the person.
The person seems unhurt too, but he is saying something to me, his face contorted with anger.
I get scared somehow and speed away in full throttle.
I then glance at the rearview mirror, and see that the person is still glaring at me.
What a persistent guy. After all, it was his fault, wasn't it?

Nowadays I welcome ANY kinds of theories. I just enjoy seeing the ways you people become so creative through these cryptic stories!
Please don't fight amongst yourselves about who's got it right or wrong.
Respect other people's opinions!
Just relax and enjoy! :D
But alternatively... if they sped away on that dark road, how can they still see them? Is the person (or possibly creature?) chasing them?
Or... He try to suicide and he got angry because 'I' didn't hit him.
Well, the fact that it was dark and 'I' can see his face on rear view mirror show the possibility that the number one theory is the right one though :p
(Thank you for all your hard work Saya!)
...why would there's another random person runs out into the road infront of him?
although you're running for dear life). This story is unsettling and like most of the cryptic stories leaves me feeling extremely uneasy after reading.
Now,I'm not gonna lie, if you guys ever have road trip before, chances you're gonna bump into these kind of things very often.Last time my friends and I went to the beach with our own motorbikes.My friends were quite keen with the speed so I had to tell him to slow down so others two can catch up with up.Then he lighted his cigarette( yes I know, it's dangerous while driving but the road was empty as hell - 3 in the morning ) and to my shock, he passed one of the old men, and by pass I mean that old guy was 20cm away from my shoulder.But my friend, on the other hand still kept his composure and driving.I was scared sh*tless and even more creeped out because looking back, I still can see him standing in the middle of nowhere without moving or anything.Later on, when we arrived,I told him about that incidents and to my surprise, he didn't see that old man at all...
K i feel smart HAHAHA :'D (i didnt look at other comments when I typed this! Loololol)
but i think that the person who jumped out into the road was a victim of kidnapping maybe.. he look scare and pale,, he tried calling for help, but because of the dark road, he looked like being angry in the driver's eye.. when the driver drove away and left him behind, he couldn't do anything beside glaring at him and accepting his fate...
or, maybe that person is trying to warn him about something like a slide or fallen tree ahead on the road... that's why he seem angry :3
That's probably why he chose a road that was dark with no light source (except from the car) and dashed pretty quickly. so creepy that he got angry like that.
I had to read that twice to get it.
I think that means the person is following the writer's car and keep a short range near the car!!!well that's creepy
One of my own - I know this is highly speculative, but I, personally, think that there may be two different persons in this story, aside from the driver.
The one on the road.. and someone in the backseat, who may be someone the driver has kidnapped, or is taking somewhere to kill then dump the body.
Just because the driver says the person is "still" glaring at him, calls him "persistent", and can still see him in the rear-mirror despite speeding away. I just think that "still glaring" implies the person was glaring all the time, but the one he almost hit wasn't necessarily glaring AT him, just swearing in the general direction of the car.
I have a slightly different interpretation. Many are basing their theories on the driver being able to see the person glaring at them, but there are cases where people just assume that a person is making a particular expression. It could be that the driver is assuming that the person is glaring at him because he's still standing there looking at him instead of moving away, even though he can't actually see his expression.
I theorize that the driver would have gotten into an accident had he continued to drive at that speed. The person saw him, and went to stop him and scold him since he was driving so dangerously, which was why he was so angry at the driver. The person was "glaring" at him afterwords because he was watching the driver drive off safely.
It's another way of looking at it, which is why these open-ended cryptic stories are so great. What I don't get was why did the driver describe him as persistent; how would a person standing still and staring be persistent?
The driver can see the man in rearview because the accident happen daylight
*sorry my english bad D:
But yeah my theory is that if he was driving away so fast, how could he still see where the person was looking at?
But since discussing is fun, another thought was that perhaps it was a suicide attempt failed, so the man had intentionally stepped out, the driver braked, making him have to wait for the next car.
I also like the 'almost-mugged' idea.
I think the ghost followed the narrator and was in the narrator's car in the backseat. That's why narrator can clearly see the ghost.
Or maybe the ghost was in the rear-view mirror.
nunu
or maybe that man is *somehow* be able to stop the car and keep glaring at car's driver?
Or maybe that man has some kind of ninja-like skill so he manage to keep up with the speeding car?
So in this time, i wont give any theory coz i think everyone is right, which makes the story even creepier....
The driver was a douche..
Since this is a riddle, it could be that when he sped up in full throttle, he drove right through him, which would explain why he was still angry...
(I'm not sure if the first one went through, so sorry if this is a double post!)
