Close Out (2004)
“The front end of the hearse tilted down as if they’d just gone off the edge of a steep cliff on a sled. The path they were on veered sharply to the right. Going straight was not an option thanks to the row of golf carts parked directly in front of them. Bean spun the steering wheel to the right, and the hearse screeched and skidded, practically going up on two wheels. Kai was thrown against Bean, and in the back the surfboards banged together.
Bouncing down the path in the dark, Bean managed to... straighten the hearse out. In the fringes of the headlights, Kai could see what appeared to be a low stone wall on their right and a vast open fairway on their left. Finally regaining control of the hearse, Bean started to hit the brakes.
“Don’t stop,” Kai said.
“Why not?”
“Keep going.”
“But this isn’t even a road.”
“Keep going!”
“You’re crazy,” Bean said, but he did take his foot off the brake. The hearse bounced through the dark on the narrow path.
