The Rise of Lucas

Chapter 127

The sleek car glided over the city streets, transporting Lucas back to the shelter of his house. Once a captivating sight, the city lights now bore testimony to the disturbing events that had taken place during the night. The near-accident, a collision with the vehicle caused by an unseen entity, resounded like a haunting melody in his thoughts.

With the car pulling into his driveway, Lucas felt a sense of unease that he couldn't ignore. The comfort of the evening spent with Lilian faded into a shiver as the precariousness of existence and the maze-like streets of the city became all too real.

His driver, a consistent presence throughout the night, turned to Lucas with a disturbed face. "Are you alright, sir?" It was unsettlingly close.

Lucas, still coping with the aftershocks of the near-miss, nodded sadly. "I'm OK. That was simply too near. I can't help but think about what may have occurred."

The driver, sensing Lucas's anxiety, comforted him. Excuse me, sir, but we barely escaped.
