Psychometry is where a person can touch an object and tell the history of the previous owner. Perhaps a psychic could obtain information from an old car and tell the story of its past.

Perhaps. Thanks for the read, Novram.
One can only imagine the past of an old rusted car. Who drove it? Where did it drive to? What experiences where had with it? Such a dream. I enjoyed this! Thank you, Temp

Thank you, Kelly.
When I was very young I had a cat that ran away. In a field behind out house was an old rusted out wreck of a car. Many months after the cat had disappeared I happened to be walking past this wreck and there in the driver's seat was "Buttons". He let me take him back home. The next day, gone again. Some things, I guess, are simply not meant to be owned.

I'm such a softy when it comes to animals, too. I still hope he had a good life.


this is every boys dream .. well it would surely have been mine .. made me smile at the very thought of such a discovery ... and dream, of course, of what might once have been .. a real gem sir :)

Good comment. Thanks, Neville. :)
We dream of the car's past. Meanwhile, now, in the depths of the forest. It has forgotten it use to be a car.

Kind of a shame too. Thanks, Cherrie.
Love this. It is so unique and seems to carry on way passed where the words end.

You are very welcome. :)
I wonder now about its past too. It looks old. I wonder how it got in that forest, perhaps it just broke down and left abandoned, perhaps it's a getaway van for a crime.... who knows! Thanks for sharing Relic!

Yes they are, thats why I enjoy mystery novels. You are most welcome!
I can picture the scene clearly, and I too am wondering what secrets from the past this old relic holds. Nicely done!

ha, Thank you for the comment, Robert.
When I see old cars like this...I always daydream of their past.

I love the personification with the car sleeping....
but the human dreaming.
