Wooden Troublesome Truck の小説・ストーリー

But then he saw it. A bright red plastic truck. It gleamed under the sun like a beacon of toddler supremacy. It had big wheels, a detachable dumper, and stickers of cartoon flames on the sides. Compared to the other sandbox toys, it was the Lamborghini of playthings. And it was currently being driven—more like slobbered on—by a chubby boy with cookie crumbs on his shirt and a mean look in his eyes. His name? Kenta. Known as the “King of the Sandbox.”

“Stack them there.” I don’t tell them to stop arguing. Their voices are still calm enough , which means no one panicking and that's all that fucking matters. Then I hear the low roll of an engine that doesn’t belong to us. My head turns quickly and we all watch as a truck pulls in from the far end of the lot. It's big and boxy with dark tinted windows which are reinfirned with steel. I recognize it as belonging to the Sofrasi and my stomach tightens.

His biceps knotted into iron ropes, his teeth bared against the sudden, sharp strain as the truck slammed into low gear and lurched forward, clearing the concrete loading dock with a violent bounce. ​Julian and I scrambled over the wooden tail-board right behind him, our hands clawing at the rough grain of the timber to keep from being thrown back onto the gravel path. My knees slammed hard against the iron floorboards of the truck bed, sending a brilliant flare of pain up my spine, but the absolute silence in my throat kept the gasp locked away behind my teeth. I rolled onto my side, my arm instantly locking around the heavy steel frame of the typewriter carriage to keep it from sliding int

The least I could do was put on a show. Jackson's friends were already doing their best to get him drunk, trying every trick in the book. However, Jackson was not drinking. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me straight out of there, shoving me into his luxury Maybach. The car door slammed shut with an explosive thud, like a shaken soda bottle finally popping its cap. I rubbed my nose. "It's not my fault you only trust me when you're drunk. You think I enjoy the hassle?" This whole thing started six months ago.

Its brake lights cast a red glow across the misty dawn, painting streaks of crimson across mounds of rotting waste and twisted metal. The engine rumbled, and then the truck’s hydraulic system roared to life. With a mechanical groan, the back of the truck tilted, releasing its foul cargo. Black bags, dented cans, cracked bottles, and torn paper tumbled into the ravine below. One of the larger bags—torn and heavy—burst open mid-air. Its contents spilled down the

Do you intend to proceed on foot? A slow smile touched my lips. "I didn't reinforce that truck just to let it sit. Let's prepare the vehicle." I walked into the loading bay. The massive truck sat in the shadows looking like a steel beast. I had welded iron bars across the windows, added a steel plow to the bumper and lined the tires with run-flat inserts. I climbed into the driver's seat and the heavy door slammed shut. I turned the key as the modified diesel engine roared to life.

The Next Day "Here it is!" Evelina jumped up in excitement as she showed her son the truck she had just bought. Noah stared at it with a look of pure disgust because the truck was nothing like he had hoped for. It was an old, run-down 1957 Chevrolet Task Force with the ugliest shade of blue he had ever seen in his entire life. The vehicle looked like something straight out of Cars after years of being forgotten in a junkyard. Seeing the disappointment on her son's face, Evelina approached him and hugged him as she tried her best to make him see the car for more than what it was.

She takes a deep breath. "Let's help in getting the decorations and I'll tell you”. While we are getting the decorations ready we realize there isn't a tree. "Let's get one," I say. Vivian and I go to the nearby Human Shop to get the tree. "You've been avoiding the topic Viv just tell me," I say sadly as the tree is been taken to the car by one of the warriors that followed us. Vivian looks at the warriors behind me. I understand what she means. She doesn't want to talk about it here.

"I don't drive it often because I'm not a huge fan of not having the wind blowing through my hair, but sometimes it's just too cold to ride the bike." This is news to me, but good news. I wasn't sure he'd fit in my car. But then again, trucks are small. "We'll all be able to fit?" "It's extended cab, enough room for six. We just need to grab Riley's booster." Easy enough to do, I'm a pro at transferring and putting in car seats. "Alright then, let's go." ******* Trick's truck is as sexy as he is. Black, just like the bike, big and hulking, just like him.

"I spoiled you too much." The red light turned green, and they only made it into the gates of their house.
