The Truck Driver Continues Part 1

[shutdown]

I've decided to leave the old where it was but this one is a re-imagining but it continues from the last one. I've tried to do as much detail as I could with this one. Tell me if it is any better or if you need more detail but I've left some things out on purpose.


The Truck Driver Continues
By Shutdown

Arriving home after my latest trip I decided to take a break from driving. Turning off the truck I reached to the passenger seat and turned off Jenny before heading into the house. Being 10 o’clock at night I was making my way to my bedroom as I had something to eat only a few hours before and wasn’t in the mood for anything else besides sleep. Climbing under the covers it wasn’t long before I drifted off to sleep.

“WARNING. YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD.”

I awoke with a start and looked down I noticed my sheets were soaking wet. Wiping the sweat from my face I looked out the window and saw that it was morning. Getting up I decided to get some breakfast before I do anything else today. As I was having my toast and coffee a thought hit me. I got up and grabbed the phone book and began flicking through the pages until I found the number I was after. I reached for the phone and glanced at the clock on the wall to make sure it was after 9am. Since it was I dialled the number and after a few minutes talking, I got an appointment for around noon today. Feeling like this was a good idea I head back to the table to finish my breakfast before heading to the shower.

At 11 o’clock I decided to get ready for my appointment so putting on a pair of jeans, a loose shirt and some sneakers. I grabbed my keys and headed out to the truck. Locking the door I walked into the sun and was hit with a wave of heat as I stepped out of the shade of the roof. The walk to the truck was not long but the heat was very draining. I realised then that I should’ve put on a hat or a cap. I was relived when I reached the shade of the truck. I opened the door and climbed in and was instantly wishing I hadn’t climbed in so quickly as it was hotter in there then it was outside. Wanting to get out of there as quickly as I could I reached over and activated Jenny. Leaving the door open I waited for her to go through her start up. After 30 seconds she came online.

“PLEASE INPUT DESTINATION.” She said the same as she always does whenever I turn her on.

“We aren't taking the truck today Jenny. Hop out and follow me.” I commanded her.

Watching her taking off her seat belt and opening the door and climbing down I followed suit and got out as well. I walked around to the front and was hit with the heat wave from before but this time it didn’t have the same effect as before. As I reached the front Jenny arrived from the passenger side and we both headed for the garage on the side of the house.

An interesting start, and it has the potential to go in a variety of ways.
