[00:36.64]The night was unbelievably quiet now,
[00:39.76]need I say, dead quiet,

[00:46.68]Not being able to see anything in front or behind her
[00:51.32]she hoped it was her boyfriend returning with help.
[00:56.06]Goosebumps were beginning to show themselves
[00:59.14]on her arms and the hair on the back of her neck
[01:02.43]started to rise up
[01:04.32]as the blackness outside suddenly seemed to move.
[01:08.48]"I must be going mad",
[01:10.23]she said out loud to nobody in particular.

[01:23.78]As she stretched over to the driver's seat
[01:26.44]there was a loud "THUMP²" on the roof of the car.
[01:30.50]Her instant reaction was to jump,

[01:35.19]and cower³ back in her seat.

[01:42.82]it became apparent to her
[01:44.39]that she did see something move outside the car,
[01:47.86]in the darkness.

[01:53.60]and a small scream escaped from her mouth.
[01:56.61]What do I do, what is it, somebody help me,
[02:00.63]were all thoughts running madly through her mind.

[02:25.55]on the roof about to eat her.
[02:28.28]THUMP.......again..................THUMP THUMP.
[02:31.98]The fear overcame her,
