The road where I live is very long and very straight. The surface is made of wood and the road is well lighted at night. The result is that cars going by during the night often go quite fast. I don’t blame them. They hardly ever wake me unless they stop near the house.
But about two months ago, one of them did make me. The driver stopped suddenly just opposite my window. You know what a noise the wheels make when a car stops suddenly like that. Then after quite a short pause he drove on again. That was nothing of course. But about two minutes later the same thing happened again. At just about the same place the driver stopped suddenly and the wheels made the same kind of noise. Then I think he backed up a few yards and in a minute or two he drove off. As you can imagine, this second event had greater effect on me and when a third car did exactly the same thing-I really did try to consider the problem.
I got out of bed and went to look out of the window. Soon a large car came along and just opposite me it stopped suddenly. I couldn’t quite see where it had stopped because there are trees on each side of my window. But I heard people get out and there was a lot of excitement for about a minute. Then they got on the car and drove away. You can imagine how interesting it all was. I put on my clothes and went out into the road.
I went over to the place where all the cars had stopped. I could see the marks of the wheels on the road. And then I saw the cause of all the trouble.
The moonlight was bright and about fifteen yards up the road there was a shadow thrown by a tree. A man was lying in the shadow. His back was towards me and his feet were about a yard from the edge of the road. He seemed to me to be dressed in light brown clothes with squares on the cloth. I started walking up the road towards him, but when I got within five or six yards, something unusual happened. He disappeared. Actually he didn’t exactly disappear, but I suddenly saw what he really was. He was a rough piece of the road with some sand over it. It looked like a man. And to add to the effect, where was a small piece of paper stuck on the road and it looked white just where the collar would be. So that was the reason why all the cars stopped so suddenly.
One night, something unusual happened. The writer went out of his house after the______ car stopped suddenly.
