Who is behind you on the Murder Road?
Honeymooners April and Eddie have taken a wrong turn.
They’re on a long dark road, late at night.
Then they see a woman up ahead, clearly in trouble.
They stop and pick her up.
But only once she’s in the car do they see the blood.
Which is when the headlights appear behind.
At last, the woman whispers:
‘I'm sorry, he’s coming . . .’
