"The Curve" a short story by Craig Zimmerman

Alex Gable blew past the road sign warning of the curve up ahead and pressed the accelerator down even farther. The sign said something about reducing speed to thirty, but that sounded boring as hell.

Alex approached the curve doing at least sixty and began to feel the centrifugal force that pulled him towards the driver's side door. All at once, a face appeared right in front of him and he instinctively knew that it was someone who had died on the curve.  The single face was eventually joined by others and Alex had no choice but to pull over to the shoulder.

Alex said a simple thank you to the ghosts and the faces gradually faded away.
