The Antics of Jake
Jake, oblivious to the trucker’s eerie calm, got louder. “Come on, show us what you got!” he jeered, trying to provoke a reaction. But the trucker’s smile didn’t waver—it only grew, unsettling Jake even more. “What’s so funny?” he snapped, unaccustomed to his words falling flat. The crowd leaned in, their attention locked on the tension crackling between Jake’s bravado and the trucker’s unshaken composure, waiting to see who would make the next move.

Seeing Jake struggle to get a rise, Travis jumped in, mockingly imitating the roar of an engine in a weak attempt to belittle the trucker’s massive rig. “Bet this beast of yours drinks more than you!” he hollered, trying to stoke the fire. But the insult landed flat, his voice cracking as he pushed to sound tougher than he was. Still, the trucker didn’t flinch. His unshaken patience was throwing them both off, leaving them grasping for control they no longer had.
