A Ghost?

The other day, I was biking down my street, when out of nowhere a man just walked into the road. I almost hit him with my bike, I was speeding. Well anyway, the man stepped into the road and I almost hit him, but in one second I was past him, without any contact. I didn’t turn and he didn’t move, so there was no way it could’ve happened. It was like I passed right through him. I was coming up on a part of the city with heavy traffic, and put the strange event into the back of my brain so I could focus on the road. Later that night, lying in bed, I finished a book called Heroes of Olympus, Son of Neptune. In the novel, there are ghosts called Lares,  and as we all know, you can walk through ghosts. I then asked myself,  “Could the man I saw have been a ghost?” When I woke in the morning, I immediately went looking for him, but without success. In the past two days, I have scoured the block where I saw him.  Still no luck. A mystery for the future (and a spooky story to tell).
