A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. a bored god was playing “Truck-kun Simulator” and just ran over his 1500th winner or, eh victim.
“Oh we have a winner; I have a new chosen one,” said by that same god.
-12 hours earlier-
(zzzzzzzzzzz…...ZZZZZ...) “2555…” (ZZZZ) “2555 anyone coming…” (ZZZZ…*Pop*)
“Huh, oh sorry”, as the unsuspecting man with a spit soak tee-shirt walks up to the counter, passing his ticket to the secretary. “Sir... oh never mine, head in to the first door on your right”

Walking in the large room, looking towards the back of it there is a large table with three people sitting in front. From right to left, the casting director, film director and choreographer. Each looks fairly tired since it’s about 4:30 pm.
“So who are you playing …guy”, said the casting director, bob. “I’m playing Dr. light’s hologram, “said by Thomas, our hero, “So can I start…”
After a couple minutes of laughs and jeers by the panel of people, Thomas realizes that he has a giant wet spot on his shirt, that damn secretary, why she didn’t say anything.
“hahhahhaahhhaa…*cough* hmm… you can go. We got all of the leads for today, next time bring a change of clothes…”, various laughs, giggles and even what sounded like a shutter of a camera.
-6 hour till… you know-
At a bar in downtown Hollywood, our fateful hero, Thomas is taking shots of vodka as a result leading to lost of his shirt at one point during his binge drinking episode.
In the background, on the TV there is a news report about a major flaw in the new tractor trailers by general motors self-driving model leading to several incidents.
“Screw those guys *hick* and that old secretary *hick*. One more round for my guys here,” said drunkenly by Thomas towards his new found drinking buddies.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“Whoa guy I think you need to stop, hey you guys get your friend and calm him down.” As the middle-aged bartender said to the crowd of men around Thomas. Those men said with drunken, slurred," We don’t know that guy we were just happy getting free drinks."
“Where are my keys...,” looking around the bar, "Hey guys you seen my keys?" With his hazed vision he finally notice that they're in one of the shot glasses that was filled with vodka, “Oh that’s where they are *Hick* Just one more shot then it's time to hit the road. ”
As Thomas tried to get up only to stumble on the ground, using the stool as leverage. He process to slowly get his balance to walk out of the bar. One of the heavy set bouncers stopped him, “Hey you can’t drive while your under the influence.” Thomas started to put up a fight but being intoxicated he gave up quite easily. Now fighting the door to exit the bar as the bouncer said," Push not pull," as he push the door for Thomas.
*Bzzt Bzzt* his phone vibrates *Bzzt Bzzt*
Thomas puts his hands in this pants as result he stumbled into the street just outside of the bar, landing in the vacant street. Looking at his phone’s notification which shows "Warning Warning Keep a look out for a Red and blue GE Tractor Trailer. Please Call 1-800-555-5555 if you see a blue semi truck. Please stay on the sidewalk."
Just at that moment a bright light shining cast a shadow in front of him. “Huh, what is that...” a moment too late he turns his only to see the threads of the wheels of a rampaging vehicle. Almost feeling no pain as he fade into darkness. Floating down a white hallway, just to see a giant oak door with indistinguishable words on it. Thomas knocks on the door.
“Is this…heaven….”
