Door to Silence

Melvin Dovereaux has finished his business in town and is getting ready to return home. Along the way his car is stuck in a traffic jam caused by a funeral. Suddenly, Melvin hears someone calling his name: a beautiful unknown woman appears as if from nowhere in a car next to his. When the police flag him on, the woman says "let's meet at the exit from Shrevenport" and speed off. Melvin follows her and tries to catch up in vain. He gets off the highway into a deserted road but finds that he's not alone. The hearse suddenly reappears and involves Melvin in a dangerous race, in which the man is chasing an unknown quarry and in turn in being chased by the hearse. He's not just losing the chase, he's losing his own mind. He sees his name written on a wreath inside the hearse. "Who is that in there?" he yells furiously. But no one answers. Full of anguish and fear he finally reaches the turn-off where the beautiful woman is waiting for him. Melvin can only hope that everything has been a dream and hasn't really happened to him at all.
