Tales of the Courier – Better luck this time
The better results. A goal worth pursuing. One that keeps a courier on the road. The irony of the statement is true as he thinks of flipping in the air. So he does. Catching a feel for the form. Now to glide, just so…
1courier lands on the far side of the closest heavy freighter. He knows it will not touch him now. They can no longer see him. Moreover, the road is cool to the touch, and he is ready to drive it. Additionally, he has learned if he’s here, he’s invisible.
He rockets away from the heavy freight road trap. Furthermore, the rear view shows the crowd of freighters dissipating. They no longer have an objective, without their target. He grins, maybe. Across his thoughts, quietly, he hears the softest of laughs. A laugh not his in the least.
Tales of the Courier
He is intrigued. Furthermore he is the only one here. In this here, he and the ride are the same. Clearly this laugh is from another. He doubles down on the speed, and the traffic fades into the distance behind. There are 21 at his exit currently, he will arrive in 37 minutes at current speed.
The M-com link lights up and he is looking into it. Literally. He is able to see the expanse of HQ while he absorbs the highway. Similarly, the comms are open and his expected ETA is accepted. Then he closes the portal. Now there are 11 at his exit, 33 minutes ahead.
Time to settle into the road and see what is possible. Furthermore, the first pick-up would be within minutes of the exit. Now he pushes for more speed, and achieves it easily. He knows each of the maneuvering components. And he knows them by heart. So to speak.
Therefore it’s surprising, when he is immediately back behind the wheel. Not only is he back behind the wheel, but also the exit is now. Swerving to make it, he barely catches it in time. Additionally the way is clear, and the pick-up is only minutes away.
Now for the rub. The first pick-up is also the first drop-off. Clearly, this means the link will be removed. Severed or detached was more likely. Either way he is not altogether thrilled. However it was a delivery. The job. The ride stalls. 1courier thinks of the open road. The ride comes back to life, and resumes the road.
Better Luck
He is beginning to suspect several things as the drop-off and pick-up come into view. Furthermore it appears as though all the heavy freighters have arrived. This no longer feels like the work of HQ and 1courier is certain this drop-off looks more like a cut-off.
At precisely that moment the audio system brings the message home with a golden gem from the past. The sound of Cruisin’ by Smokey Robinson fills the ride and 1courier grins. Time to fly.
