This post is written for Sunday Photo Fiction. My story follows the picture prompt. Enjoy!
The life of an over the road long haul truck driver was a lonely existence. It was the only thing he had left after the divorce. He had to make a living and that was the only experience he had in life. It was a lonely existence. Very lonely indeed. He longed for some excitement in his boring life.
“Continue 23 miles on Interstate I-95”
He had plugged the address into his GPS before he left to meet his new on-line friend. In her picture on the internet she looked fabulous. Well we all exaggerate a little he thought. Even if she is half as pretty he would be happy. Beside his profile picture made him look like Tom Cruise.
“Take exit 354 in 5 miles.”
“Exit 354 and then turn left for 3 miles.”
“In 1 mile your destination is on your right.”
He was getting more excited by the minute. A quick look at his lap confirmed his intention.
Before him was a massive traffic jam. His mood was deflating before his eyes as he came to a complete stop.
“Recalculating.”
Oh Danny Boy! 
Getting there is half the fun. Although getting there is definitely an issue at the moment. I like this. Poor guy.

Anxious moments, so close, yet so far away! If he isn’t on a time schedule, he is bound to reach his destination…but, what happens after that…will all the anxiety have been worth it. Great story…lots of questions and possibilities. 🙂

Now that is a conundrum. I hope he gets there eventually.

Not sure what the outcome would be if he does get there.

LOL!! What did we do before there were GPS systems? My kids bought me one for Mother’s Day and I love the thing! It got me to Phoenix, around Phoenix, and back home safe and sound. Great story Danny! Too bad about the traffic jam. Hahaha!

Yup, GPS systems are very handy, especially for those of us who like to travel.
