Description

When Alan Parker learns that his mother has been hospitalized, he sets out on a desperate journey home, only to find himself stranded on a dark stretch of highway. A ride from a mysterious stranger seems like a stroke of luck—until the driver reveals a connection to the dead and forces Alan to confront a terrifying choice. Blending supernatural suspense with psychological dread, this compact ghost story explores guilt, mortality, and the uneasy bargains people make when fear takes control. First published as a groundbreaking electronic release, it showcases Stephen King’s gift for turning an ordinary moment into a deeply unsettling encounter.
