Trucker-Up: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Feeling dirty. I laid out a jogging suit, took a shower and shaved. Getting dressed, I kept looking at that room. A sense of joy filled my heart. I was revived. At 11:30pm, I proceeded towards finishing my mission. I commenced to scrub, cleaned, and organized every square inch of the rest of the house. Uniquely decorating each room as I went. Big red bows on the walls and windows. Christmas towels in the bathroom. A reindeer in a corral with white cotton poop on the back of the toilet. While I was cleaning, I cooked a ham with pineapples and cherry’s. A pan of stuffing. Made deviled eggs and green beans. Fixed a plate with crackers, with port cheese and sliced summer sausage. Set up the buffet with the cheese and crackers. Placed Christmas dishes and rolled silverware and sat that on it next to the holly tea glasses. Then, the Santa …show more content…
I was still tired and sore. Checked my blood sugar, it was over 500. I needed to medicate soon. In that moment, I made a knowingly, life-threatening decision. I decided to trucker-up. To explain trucker-up! It is something I used to do on the road when I had been driving for 3 days straight, and I was 600 miles away, with a load that couldn’t be late. No choice but to trudge on to make it, or lose the money I was being paid for the load. The formula is dangerous. It must be mixed correctly or it will blow your heart valve and you die. I certainly had the product to make a version of it. After little thought, I figured why not. I mixed cocktail of 4 Adderall 30’s, crushed, with 3 hydrocodone 10’s, crushed. 200 milligrams of powdered caffeine, added 2 goodie powders plus, for a kick added 2 Viagra. Crushed, Chopped, and blended it on a dish then poured it into a small chemistry beaker. Add a double shot of distilled water and a very small drop of distilled vinegar. Heating, but not to a boil. Stirring on low heat until it dissolves into a milky water. It needed to cool for 30

    It was a sunny day and all was well; until we heard a bang sound come from in-front of us. Dad, Mom, Josh (my little brother), and myself all witnessed a red pick-up truck strike a SUV head on; but what we then realized was the red pick-up fleeing the scene. He sped past us going at least sixty mph down a hill through a fifty mph zone. We proceeded down the hill because we were heading home and it just so happened to be the same direction he fled. We saw him swerve around a car, but he did not get lucky trying to avoid the other car zooming around the corner in the other lane; he also hit that car…

    Imagine yourself stranded on a by-way in a remote part of the country without any idea why and how your car just suddenly stopped. You probably would be panicking a little especially if it's already eleven in the evening and the only things you see around you are trees and endless patches of land. The second and more practical thing you might think of is getting a tow truck to help you get your car to the nearest garage or gasoline station and probably get yourself a lift home too. Tow trucks are readily accessible but some local towing service can be hard to find.…

    In “Car Crash While Hitchhiking” by Denis Johnson, I have viewed the narrator as a visionary. A visionary is someone in a dreamlike state or trance who is able to see the future. Also, a visionary is someone who is unaware of what is going on around him. As I had kept reading I saw the narrator as a visionary because of the trance that he is in from taking too many drugs and alcohol, hearing and seeing things that nobody else able to experience and has been on a long journey seeking true human emotion that has been missing from his life.…

    I approached the front of the building, stepping onto the first step of stairs leading to the entrance like a wedding dress's long tail. Upon opening the door, I can already hear the echoing of the noise the door was making along with my keys, and the slam of it seemed louder than usual. Looking to my right I see the pantry basket half full of donated food, and candles by a Virgin Mary statue. On my left side were the stairs to go to the lower level of the church. I took a deep breath before heading forward, and the only scent I could distinguish was that of burning candle wax.…

    It was the summer of 2007, and my parents thought that it would be a brilliant idea to go on a family road trip to some unknown location.

With me being an only child, grandchild, and great grandchild, I was the only kid with five adults in a minivan. Why my parents thought that this was a good idea is still beyond my imagination.…
