Strange Tourists
by Thomas K.
I was visiting a friend of mine who lives in the Washington D.C. area. I was on 295 near Georgetown I think it was when I was coming through a tunnel and saw the Washington Monument and all that stuff and sort of shrugged thinking, hey, why not go take a tour of the city. I actually had no freaking idea where I was in correlation to the mall area, but I was sure I'd find it.
I headed off onto an exit which said downtown with an arrow and soon started started to attempt to navigate it all, starting to hit red lights. I went through a set of lights and looked over to my left to the car beside me, a maroon Lincoln Towncar, and this is what I saw: a man with a body so thin, wearing an all black formal suit and bluish touristy ball cap, that looked like he was actually part of the seat, with a weird looking white pasty asiatic face. It was almost cartoonish, as if it weren't real. I had to do a double take and with a look over there driving the car appeared to be the same kind of super slender being. It was weird; I can't call it even human exactly. They were sitting very squarely in their seats, or in the seats, and facing forward like automatons, placid dummies of some kind with beady eyes. The long, maroonish black car moved on ahead of me and there in the backseat were about three or so skinny kids with strange blonde hair as my eyes darted back seeing them again.
Something about the whole thing gave the heebie-jeebies bad like I wasn't supposed to see that at all. I found the mall eventually and took a spin past the Smithsonian and all that kind of stuff, a fun little pit stop. But that thing in the car beside me... I know was not a human driving it. I could feel it with every pore that was not human or, more instinctively, not even from this world. The men looked like they were actually sitting inside the seats there they were so razor-thin, frail, wearing ball caps. They looked like little weird shrew-like people with big heads and skinny starved looking necks and small mouths or something with bright blonde hair in bizarre haircuts, like prince Valiant type things or wigs. Gaunt odd faces with bumps for noses in profile with narrow pointy chins looking around curiously. I didn't, and don't, want to know what I saw - I just feel like I wasn't supposed to see that. Strange, huh?
