 | Last Stop
David Moore cannot believe that his father would have just left. He had been acting quite odd for a long time, but whenever he wandered off and got lost, he always found his way home. Except for that last time six months prior. Everyone had given up hope and assumed that Mr. Moore had died when something bizarre happened: David was on the subway with some friends when the train became dark and seemed to move in slow motion. When the lights came back on, David saw a man looking at him, he saw--his father! Was this man really David`s father, alive and well, or has David seen a ghost?
