Ninety-Three Seconds

A Supernatural Highway Horror Story

By: Xavier Stone

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Some roads only go one way.Ray Dalton has been driving the same stretch of Texas highway for thirty years. He knows the rhythm of the tires, the taste of stale coffee, and the exact mile marker where his life changed forever.It was April 14, 1994. A rainy night. A crumpled car. A seven-year-old boy named Michael who died before the ambulance arrived. Ray has spent three decades telling himself he did everything he could.But tonight, the radio is playing songs that don’t exist. The towns on the map have long since burned down. And when Ray looks in his rearview mirror, the back seat isn’t empty anymore.The boy is sitting there. He isn’t injured. He isn’t angry. He’s just waiting.As the odometer spins backward and reality begins to fray, Ray is forced to confront the truth he buried under a million miles of asphalt: the ninety-three seconds of silence that haunt him more than the crash itself.On a highway where the past and present bleed together, Ray must finally answer the question the boy has been asking for thirty years: Why did you wait?
A claustrophobic, high-grit slide into liminal horror, Ninety-Three Seconds is a ghost story about the lies we tell ourselves to survive—and the passengers who refuse to be left behind. Perfect for fans of Stephen King’s Mile 81 and Joe Hill.
