Free Ride to Earth
A free ride to Earth
This story is told to me by a taxi driver. I shall call him Addy since I do not know him. Remember it was at night where myself and my camp mates took a cab home after the Chinese New Year celebration at a restaurant where our unit has booked.
I went in to the taxi driver and asked him " Hey you like to drive at night a lot izzit?" " How come taxi drivers like to drive at night, won’t they afraid that they are ferrying ghosts in state of humans since an immense number of taxi drivers experienced ghost passengers or similar incident before" I guess many of the readers too have heard many stories told by taxi drivers or related to taxi. Addy replied and said " No choice, he needs to drive at night as they can earn more and that is his livelihood". I carried on asking as I am a fan of ghost stories " So do you see or drive any ghost before" He replied " No."
However, he told me a frightening story experienced by one of his close taxi driver friend. His taxi driver friend Joe was driving on the road one day at night. In front of him, he saw a Malay man. Hence, Joe stopped and let the malay man entered his taxi. The Malay man was siting beside Joe. All of a sudden after driving for 30 minutes, the Malay man suddenly wanted Joe to stop and let him out of his taxi. The Malay man asked " who is the woman at the back? She is simply very smelly and I cannot stand it anymore! I do not want to take a ride in your taxi, let me off!"
Upon hearing that, Joe was shocked, he don’t smell anything and he don’t see anything at the back seat of his taxi. He quickly drive his vehicle to more crowded places. At first the Malay man thought that the woman behind was Joe’s Mother accompanying him or dropping on the way . Joe told many taxi drivers after that but to him, he does not have a choice as driving the taxi is his "rice bowl"
