When we started our little road trip, Eddie driving, me and Jim in the back, I knew something was off. Our gear, our plan, our luggage, all fine, but when we got half a mile on the road, I knew something would happen. Then the floor fell out from under me. A gaping hole revealed itself in the bottom of our car. It was hard enough to start the thing, so I didn't ask us to pull over, but it did startle me.

The day did not get better. We stopped for the night at a creepy abandoned burger place. When we walked in to find a place to sleep, a guy wearing all black and a fedora with a feather in it jumped out from behind the corner. For some reason, his face reminded me of captain Picard. Immediately, we brought out our lasers, startled. Strangely, he pulled out a gun, which I learned is an ancient technology similar to the modern day lazer. It's the 23rd century, for goodness sakes, it's about time he upgraded.
"Sorry, we weren't expecting anyone to be here. We don't want any trouble." I said.
"I didn't expect anyone either. A bit late for you kids to be up, isn't it? Let's just all calm down and I'll let you use the restaurant for the night." He said, and lowered his weapon.

One by one, we lowered ours, first John, then me, then, after a while, Eddie. As fast as lightning, he bolted out the door, never to be seen again. Or so we thought.
