Touch the Truck
By late on the 3rd night of the MegaCarPlaza Touch the Truck competition, the original 20 competitors were down to 5 people in varying states of physical and psychological decay. They swayed on their feet in the dark parking lot under a sky just starting to show a hint of dawn to the east. Robert and Bethany standing at the hood had formed an alliance and were helping to keep each other conscious. They were young enough that their bodies were likely holding out better than those of their middle-aged rivals. Kelly laying hands along the truck bed at driver’s side rear had the advantage of being accustomed to working up to 10-hour shifts on her feet as a checker at the Red Apple, but staying awake for well over 60 hours was not a skill she had honed, and the line between reality and delirium was an undulating line curiously resembling the flared rear wheel fender of a sand dune metallic Chevrolet Colorado. Meanwhile, tall, stoic Carl stood unflappable as ever – perhaps even meditative – standing across from Kelly at passenger side rear, next to the loose cannon of the bunch: stout, white-bearded Mike. Mike wasn’t letting on that he was tired, but his silence betrayed him. He was taking a momentary break from his ongoing campaign to psyche out the competition by touting the grit and determination he had developed as a combat marine, and his desperate need to prevail in the competition for his beloved family.
A Prologue to an Epilogue
This heart of mine craves adventure that only she can bring me. It’s been too long since we’ve found those endless miles to nowhere, those silent stars glittering in the night sky. Maybe I cursed us with such a name, maybe it was karma for so easily abandoning my past; or perhaps it was just the luck of being handed a giant lemon. No matter, she seems better now. I named her Verona, and only the death of love has followed.

A cold breeze flowed through Will's fingertips as the salted air wisped off from the Pacific Ocean crisping each breath of his lungs. The faint smell of seaweed pierced his nostrils as he floored the gas on the gleaming red Targa-Top Porsche 911 around a shallow right bend, feeling the vast mechanical grip of the sport tires as he flew around another crest on Highway 101. The seductive roar of the Porsche's Flat-6 engine was reverberating along the sandstone cliffside, echoing the hauntingly beautiful symphony of balanced cylinders perfectly in rotation at 6,000 revolutions per minute. Approached a cambered left-hand turn, Will fluttered his right toe on the brake pedal slowing the 911 into the corner, simultaneously pushing the clutch pedal to the sweet spot as he downshifted from 3rd gear to 2nd. The RPMs jumped up again with a rush of controlled violence. The Porsche was balancing the fine line of chaos and order every time the balls of his feet work against the cold steel pedals. Will knew that there was no other way to relish the beauty of a classic German sports car than on a sunny mid-afternoon where the rays of light flashed brilliantly reflecting the vast detail job his father and him had performed the prior weekend on the 911. A spotless, mirror-like finish on the Porsche's brilliantly eye-catching red paint was completed as a sign of respect to the last drive Will and his father will ever feel with that German beauty.

The heavy pitter-patter of rain chimed harmoniously in the background as the lighting herald in the crackling thunder, the lightning arched in the sky above the otherwise peaceful neighborhood as the noonday heat had cooled from the cold downpour. Caught in its grip a man desperately runs to his car, who upon starting pulls out his phone after it had rung for his attention, the man’s eyes widened as he read the message. “Good afternoon Mr. Mathis, it is with great pleasure that I inform you that you have been selected for today’s challenge hosted by Suncloud Interactive if for any reason you cannot or would no longer wish to participate reply stop to cancel otherwise you will be automatically confirmed as a contestant for today’s event we look forward to your result -Suncloud Interactive Management”
