David Brennan

Dark Passenger


They were driving from New York to Europe.

A large wave tossed them out

of the car. As they laid on the water

they saw a cat crossing the ocean. They saw a little old lady running after the cat. Not
stopping to look both ways, the woman was struck by a truck.

At the hospital they found the family gathered, crying. He wanted to say something to
them.

“The storm is over,” he said.
