On the Texas Border
“Abby felt a lot better. At least they weren’t giving up. And tomorrow might prove productive. Several vehicles passed, and Abby could taste the dust in her mouth. She was ready to get back to civilization.
An old truck came up behind them, and they had to move into the ditch to allow it to pass. Still, it barely missed hitting them.
“Stupid fools,” Jonas muttered, as they made their way onto the road again.
The truck stopped ahead of them, smoke billowing out of the tailpipe. It backed up and turned around. The driver gunned the engine and roared toward them at high speed.

Abby was winded and shaken. It took a while for the world to right itself. She lay on top ...of Jonas, her heart hammering loudly in her ears.MoreLess
