Unedited.
The road was pitch black. Carl could barely see in front of his high beams. He'd drove as fast as the limit would allow him. He wish he could drive faster, but didn't want to alert the local authorities, he had heard stories of police in sundown towns. He could see the highway up ahead and almost sighed with relief until he heard the whirring of klaxon's. He stopped the car and pulled over to the side of the road and said a silent prayer that he would come out of this alive.
"Driver step out of the vehicle." Carl got out of the car and saw the officer pointing the gun.
"Step this way." The officer motioned and as soon as Carl go into range of him. The office opened fire. Carl was frozen for a second he felt a hand touch his shoulder.
"Good thing we saw you when we did or that thing would have gotten you." The officer pointed to the car and in the back seat was something that looked like a goat with human legs.
"We try to have everyone inside by sundown since, well stuff like this goes out at night."
The officers carted the body away and Carl got back in his car. The left rear glass was shattered. The officer leaned down and handed him a card. "There's an auto repair shop next town over tell 'em Clint sent ya. Don't worry, They're friendly folk. Drive safe now."
And with that the police left and Carl continued on his way, sure to never come this way again and invest in a fire arm.
