Urban Legend

I read this story in a magazine one time in my very interesting life, I cant remember the name of the magazine or the writer of the story. the story was titled URBAN LEGEND. I loved the story and it just cant seem to want to leave my memory. So I have decided to share with you guys.
N/B This is not an original piece.



One very dark, stormy, wet night, a man stood by the side of an highway waiting to hitch a ride to the nearest bustop. The night was so dark that you had to put your palms very close to your eyes to see it. It was raining cats and dogs and this man was so cold and wet. He was shivering both from the cold and the fear of what lay lurking in the bushes around the highway.

He had been standing there for quite some time and had tried to stop every car that passed by, but none of them wanted to stop. Suddenly, a car stopped beside him, he had not heard the sound of the car approaching, it was like the car just appeared beside him. He was just too happy and excited to think. He opened the door of the car and jumped in and then the car started moving. Then he turned to the driver to say thank you that was when he realized that there was no one driving the car. He was so scared to his bones, and couldn't think of any logical thing to do. He just sat and didn't move as if some invisible force had glued his butt to the chair.

The car began to approach a bend and just when he thought he had already died a hand appeared and turned the steering wheel. The amazing thing was that anytime the car approached the bend, that hand always appeared to turn the steering wheel.

Then the car stopped suddenly, the man flew out and began to run. He had not run for too long when he saw an all night convenience store, he ran in and went straight to cashier and began to narrate his ordeal to anybody that cared to listen crying and shaking all over. At first his audience didn't believe him but when he began to cry they thought he must really be saying the truth and they began to console him. Just then two men walked in and one of them pointed at the man and said 'that is the idiot that entered the car when we were pushing it'
