Trucks!

While on a cross country trip you decide to stop in an out of the way tourist trap town called Lunar Nevada a place made famous for a spate of UFO sightings a few years back. Outside a sign reads "Last Gas before Vegas" and you notice the tank is running low. As you step inside you watch the locals and visiting long haul truckers watch the local news. It seems that a toxic spill in the nearby town of Deary has closed the innerstate to travelers meaning you're stuck. As day turns to night one of the parked trucks turn on.

"Hey Dale isn't that your rig?" Jimmy the elderly counterman asks.

Dale a thirtysomething redneck stands up and looks out the window as his rig starts up, flashing it's light and blowing it's horn.

"What the hell!" Dale shouts

"That'll teach you to leave your keys in it man." Ronnie, another trucker says jokingly.

Dale reaches into his pocket and plops a set of keys on the table.

"He must've hotwired it." Ronnie said

Angered Dale races for the door but is stopped by a man sitting near the door.

"I don't think you wanna go out there sir." he says

"And why not Mister...?"

"My names Hawkins."

"OK Hawkins, why don't I want to go out there?" Dale asked

"It's not just your truck!" Hawkins said

The entire resturant looks out the windows and sees not one but a half dozen machines all around the place.

"Well who are they, what do they want?" Jimmy asked

"I don't think there's anybody in them." Hawkins said.

Here's what you fill out.

What do you mean there aint nobody driving them, that's just stupid!" Dale said opening the door.

"Stop wait!" Hawkins shouted

Dale stepped out into the cool night and zipped up his jacket.

"Hey you get outta my rip you freak!" Dale shouted over the dull roar of the idling engine.

"Get back inside you fool!" Hawkins shouted.

As Dale drew closer he shielded his eye from the bright halogen bulbs and realised that Hawkins was right there was nobody in that cab.

"Hey it's empty!" Dale shouted turning his back to the truck.

"If it's empty then how'd it turn on?" Ronnie asked.

"It coulda been an electrical short." Sam said

Dale made his way to the door and opened it, he was about to climb in when it slammed shut. Startled the man fell back and landed on the soft dirt.

"What was that about!" he said.

"Get back here you fool!" hawkins shouted.

As the others watched Dale stood up and as he reached for the door it opened hard and slammed him in the face, the doorhandle bursting through his eyesockets.

"Dale!" Ronnie shouted

"Don't go out there!" Hawkins shouted.

"But Dale!" Ronnie said

"He's dead, if you go out there so to will you be."

"He can't be, he's standing up."

"It's the door, it's holding him up." Jimmy said looking through a pair of surplus binocculars.

"And he's right there's nobody inside."
