shit... turning key again... nothing... dead...
“FUCK!” banging my fists on the steering wheel, “FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!” i rest my head on the wheel, incredible... something is conspiring against me... i do have a hefty buzz going though so all is not a wash...
Suddenly i'm blinded by Jack's headlights in my rear-views.... i hear his engine gun and before i know it, am jerked forward as Jack rams his truck into mine... “Holy mother...” i hastily buckle my safety belt and give a thumb's up out the window, holding on... Suddenly i am catapulted from my resting-place in the weeds to cruising speed in the emergency lane... With the help of Jack, I am now accelerating quite quickly... i pop the clutch and my car springs to life... i gas it and quickly leave a patch of flying gravel behind, springing onto the asphalt and safety...
Accelerating, i briefly catch Jack and Brenda flying by on my left. They give a quick wave and disappear into the darkness ahead with the blink of an eye. I crest a ridge and am hit in the face by a sea of lights... i shake my head incredulously...
Wendover... not a ¼ mile from where i lost it... Glancing at my near-half-full gas gauge, i laugh... “Wendover sucks anyway. i bet i can make it to the next town...”
i pass the exit and head on into the darkness...
