The Mysterious Hitchhiker

Carlo sat silently thinking about the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and how stupid he had been by not giving her his phone number so that they could contact each other and who knew, maybe more. He just couldn´t get her out of his head. She hadn´t been gone for long, he still had a chance to go after her, but what was stopping him? He felt weird for feeling such a strong connection with someone who he had only known for twenty minutes. He got out of his car and went after her. He followed her into that dark doorway, but she was no where to be found. All he saw was a dead end. "How could she disappear like that?" he thought. When he went back outside, his car had been hijacked and they had stolen everything that he had inside, his radio, his wallet, everything. How lucky he had been that he was not in his car at the time, something worse could have happened to him. He decided to give up on the beautiful mysterious girl and head home. When he got to route 28, he saw something familiar hanging on a post, he stopped the car and got out. It was his jacket, he figured it was weird because it was impossible for her to get there before he did, unless her and her boyfriend made up. A few months later, he felt something in his right pocket, a newspaper clipping with something written on the back, "Your welcome, I saved you from something that had happened to me, it wasn´t your time to go, Patty." The newspaper clipping said, "Young couple killed by highjackers." And there was her picture. The same beautiful mysterious girl he offered a ride to.

Andre, I think the the story finished where I finished it. I don´t think it is a perfect ending but at least it is different. I mean i didn´t want it to be a love story, not that I have anything against love stories, I just wanted to leave people thinking. So many things like that happen everyday, you are drawn to something and because of that something good happened to you. I didn´t really think about her being his guardian angel but I guess you can interpret it any way that you want to. Imagination is key:)
