Abandoned
What was his car doing here? The man stood in front of the car feeling confused. The last thing he remembered he had been driving it down a road. And now it was here. In the middle of nowhere. He was sure he was driving it only a few moments ago but his car looked like it had been here for a while. The engine had gone, the windows too. It looked old and forgotten. What had happened? He tried to think about his last few days, but there was nothing. Nothing at all.
He didn’t know were he was.

I was thinking a ghost that’s tied to his old car when I wrote it, but I’m always keen to hear other people’s thoughts.

Could be a ghost. Could be a memory loss. I like it when we don’t know for sure

1.May be kren abducted him for some purpose and then left him there after erasing his memory.
2. May be he is a man possessed by a ghost
Or may be
3. He is misleading the police by feigning memory loss.

I can hear the Twilight Zone music playing in my head! Thanks for playing! Watch out for passive voice: “was” and “had ___.”

Was he a ghost? Didn’t know he had died? This has kind of a “Topper-ish” feel about it.

Yes that was my thought when writing it that he was a ghost but didn’t realise he was dead.

A perplexing predicament! Not knowing his backstory, my mind is brimming with conjecture. Alzheimers, alien abduction, a blow to the head? You got my attention.
