another x-files case

I was driving north on Highway 100, pulled up to a red light at Oklahoma. It was winter, everyone's car is closed up tight. Engines running, heaters blowing, no way that you could hear what someone said in another car. Something drew my attention to the rear view mirror in the car in front of me. Maybe it was the shape of the driver's head reflected in the mirror.

I asked, somewhat rhetorically, "What is this? An alien or something?"

The driver's head immediately snaps up. The face looks at me in the mirror. Still something not right. Gives me a fangy inhuman grin.

The light turns green, the car in front of me pulls away.

I am stunned.

Still am.
