Snippet #1297077

Mary looked up at Sam giving orders. She understood that it was getting late, but she didn't want to go find streams or start fires. She still wanted to go up to the semi again, now that the explosion was done. She knew that someone was up there in the truck, and they wouldn't have just ran off, unless there was somewhere they could go close by. "Um, Sam? I think I'm going to go search up at the semi for the man who crashed into us, or a CV radio," she said loudly enough to be heard, but still softly. "The semi is still there, which means there's someone still up there." She started back towards the semi-truck. "I'll see if there's a first aid up there too!" she yelled back.

Mary finally reached the semi up the hill on the road. She slowly inched around the truck after looking underneath for anyone. Based on how hard it hit them, this was no accident, and this guy could be a crazy person. She made her way to the left side and walked up to the driver's seat. She looked up in the side view mirror to look for anyone. Nobody was there. As she opened the heavy door to the truck, a voice quietly, but serious, "Get off my truck." Mary jumped, her heart skipping a beat. She looked the woman up and down. She didn't even look like a trucker. She had a flower covered pink dress, and short black hair. She looked as if she came from the 70's.

"Uh, sorry, I uh," she paused, "Are you the one who ran in to us?" That was a stupid question, of course she did.
"Yes," replied the woman, plainly. "My apologies."
"Really, that's all you have to say," said Mary, raising her voice.
"There's a town five miles south," said the woman.
Mary was creeped out a bit. Just the way the woman spoke and carried herself. She seemed as if she was in a trance. She was a bit scared of the woman, so she said quietly, "Uh, ok thanks." The woman nodded and stood there staring at Mary. "Ok seriously, what's your problem!?" she yelled. It felt weird to yell.
"Aren't I helping?" asked the woman. She turned her head to the side still staring Mary down.
