Sample text:

 

“Ah hell, I guess this train ain`t going to ride me no more!” Farley said to himself dejectedly as his van’s engine spluttered and died from lack of fuel.

 

“Was just a matter of time, Oh well? This piece of crap van got me further than I expected so I guess this is place is a blessing in some ways.” Farley muttered as he coaxed the van as far is it would go before manhandling the steering wheel of the  now hard as hell to turn  former power steering over to the roadside as best he could.

 

Well he wasn’t totally pulled off the side of the road but that was the best he could do because of the narrow shoulder. “Now what shall I do?” He said to himself for the umpteenth time today.

 

 Not that he hadn’t rehearsed this little bug out and bail out of the van scenario over a thousand times already in his mind on the way down here. But that didn’t matter now. Even though he knew and had planned for getting himself broke down and stranded today he still had no way of knowing where exactly he was going to end up at.  He had bugged out of the city driving towards the lake with only a half a tank of gas and no known chances of getting any more fuel. It wasn’t much of a plan but it was all he could think of doing in the position he was previously in.

 

He had left the city 10 weeks after some space weather had managed to make mincemeat out of the electrical power grid and deteriorating conditions had forced him out. Scientists had been noting the correlation between geomagnetic storms caused by the sun and increased frequency of earthquakes and volcanic activity for years but no one had understood or predicted the effects of a huge coronal mass ejection from the sun would have on the New Madrid fault line.
