7. GLOVEBOX

[Stranger:]
Alright, where ya going?

[Zack:]
I dunno, could you take me to the nearest gas station I need to use a phone

[Stranger:]
No problem, sit back n' relax for a minute. If you want I could probably take you right to your home?

[Zack:]
That's okay, but thanks. Honestly, I don't know where I am, so, a gas-stop will be fine

[Stranger:]
Alright, if you say so, are you tryna lay low?

[Zack:]
What you say?

[Stranger:]
I'm just playing, never-mind. You from around here?

[Zack:]
No I was out late on a hike in the woods and I must'a got lost

[Stranger:]
Well in that case I got a map that you could have for when I drop you off, stuffed up in the glove box

[Zack:]
Thanks man

[Zack: Narrating:]
And as I opened glove compartment I was startled at what I saw. There were handfuls of teeth everywhere in there so I pretended not to see them and carried on with the conversation:

[Zack:]
What do you do for a living?

[Stranger:]
I work on refrigerator systems, how about you?

[Zack:]
Well I used to cut meat but I'm currently unemployed at the minute

*muffled scream*

[Zack:]
What was that?

[Stranger:]
Oh nothing, sometimes the fan-belt squeals or something, I gotta get it looked at

[Zack: Narrating:]
That's when I looked back to see a hand sticking out from under the bed cover of the truck

That's when I start panicking
I'm realizing this man is sick, I need to get out of this truck and as quick as possible before I end up dead in a ditch
So I start thinking 'bout if I jumped out now, n' at this speed, how bad I would it would hurt
I'd prolly break a leg or an arm or something but if I jumped far enough I could probably hit dirt

[Stranger:]
What's a-matter son, you look worried?

[Zack: Narrating:]
Then I did my best to not look concerned:

[Zack:]
Oh I recognize where I am now and I think it would be best if I could return to the spot you first picked me up from?

[Zack: Narrating:]
Then suddenly all the doors locked, he leaned over across the seat and said:

[Stranger:]
I got a little boy laying dead in the box, you don't wanna end up like him, do you?

[Zack: Narrating:]
At this point I couldn't even hear my thoughts, my heart was pounding so loud in my chest that I thought I was gonna pass out

[Zack:]
Please just stop?!
Please sir, just let me out here?!

[Zack: Narrating:]
I'm sure he could see my fear
Then he lunged across the seat directly at me and that's when I grabbed for the wheel...
