CAR ACCIDENT

AFTER I, THE COLLECTOR, MENTIONED THE STORY THAT YOU CAN HEAR A
THUMPING SOUND WHENEVER YOU RIDE DOWN THE STREET ON THE EAST
SIDE OF DETROIT WHERE A GIRL WAS KILLED BY A CAR, THE FOLLOWING WAS
TOLD: THE SOUND OF THE THUMPING IS HER KNOCKING ON THE CAR
FOR THE PEOPLE TO STOP AS SHE WAS DRAGGED SO FAR ON THE AXLE OF
THE CAR.

Submitter comment: SHE COULDN'T REMEMBER WHERE SHE HEARD THIS, BUT IT WAS PART OF THE
STORY AS I FIRST MENTIONED IT.
