Stuck In Snow

Luckily, Jacob’s truck stayed upright. He took a deep breath when the truck came to a halt. Jacob tried to rev the engine, only to hear a terrible sound. He got out of the truck to assess the situation and found out his tires were stuck hopelessly. He got back in the truck and tried again, stomping on the accelerator. But the truck would not budge. Jacob was stuck here in the middle of a highway.

No Service

For some reason, Jacob’s first thought was he will be late for the delivery. His boss may or may not understand. He decided to call his supervisor to convey the delay, but his call did not go through. There was no service out here. Or anything else for that matter. He was surrounded by trees and a long road that was god knows how many miles away from a rest stop.

Waiting For Aid

Jacob thought somebody is bound to drive up this road in a few minutes and he can get help from them. He started waiting, pacing back and forth outside his truck. Hours passed by yet nobody showed up. Jacob was getting anxious now, his assumption of getting help could not have been more wrong. 

Endless Wait

Jacob was still waiting for someone to rescue him, but the chances of anyone ever finding him were becoming bleak. Thirst began to creep upon him. He only had one bottle of water left and didn’t pack any food for the way either. He decided to take a few sips from his bottle but save most of it as he didn’t know how long it will be before he could get more. On drinking the water he realized he was more dehydrated than he thought. 

The Hard Truth

As more and more hours passed, Jacob was slowly coming to terms with the hard truth; nobody was coming to help him. He felt stupid for waiting so long in hopes of someone showing up. There was no living soul in sight, not even an animal. He had to get out of this mess himself.

No Sense Of Direction

Jacob knew he needs to figure out a way to get out of here or he will die alone on the side of a road. He was feeling tired and cold already and he needed to get out of this place before it gets worse. It was dark and the weather was not getting better. He didn’t know how to choose which direction to follow amongst the trees and the neverending road leading to god knows where.
