Angela Burns

I couldn’t believe what was going on in my life, since I came into contact with Angela Burns that day as i drove cross country to deliver my load of electronics. I knew there was something freaky about her when I woke up all alone in the sleeper of my truck. But I feel that I’ve gotten a bit ahead of myself in relating the story.

It all began on September 2, 2025. I was driving on the Trans Canada Highway. Roughly an hour since I cleared the border of Ontario And Manitoba. The first time I looked the road ahead was clear, then I reached over for the flask of coffee I got before leaving Ontario. Getting it, I flipped up the spout and took a sip of the still warm coffee. Returning my eyes to where I was going I saw her lying down across the double lines in the middle of the Highway.

I was a good five hundred feet from her and slammed on the brakes, so I didn’t run over her. Fuck the last thing I needed was to run over a local, the local cops would claim it was my fault and I could kiss my license goodbye! Fuck kowing the pricks in this province they might even jail me for a few months.

Luckily for me I was able to get the rig stopped with one hundred feet to spare. I bolted out of the cab and started to holler at her.

“What the fuck do you think your doing?”

“She turned her head towards me, “What everyone said that this would be the best thing I could do!” Then she paused, “I know this is the coward’s way out but what else could I do that hopefully will get the result everyone wants!” Another pause followed then, “Oh Christ, I forgot to take into account how this would affect the driver that ran me over!”

“Yeah not only would it kill you if you’re lucky but it would screw me both professionally by mentally also!”

Then I got my first complete view of her. She was at best in her mid thirties with dark hair that was flowing around her head as it laid on the road. She was wearing a blueish top that was tucked into a pair of plaid like pants, But I could guess that she had a toned stomach when compared to my trucker gut that spilt over my waistline.

Fuck by the way she was talking I got the idea that everyone found her to be useless, not even worth taking the time to get to know, be it mentally or physically. Something that I wouldn’t have minded, if she showed even the slightest hint that that was possible.

Still, I had to try to get her the fuck out of my way so I could contine my haul. “Look I have no idea what the fucking morons around here hae been drinking, but I wouldn’t kick someone as pretty as you out of bed!” I was looking down at her when she started to smile up at me.

“Really, no one has even considered me bedable before!”

I hoped that if nothing else, she would let me get her off the road. I reached out to her, leaving it all up to her if she would let me pick her up. I was kind of shocked when she reached out to grasp my hands. Maybe I was thinking more about the jail time I could be facing if I did run over her, but I swore her hands went right through mine. Then I felt something cold on my hands.

I’m not sure if I closed my hands around hers but I had her standing in front of me, looking up at me. I was a even six foot and she barely reached my shoulders, so I took it that she was about five foot, maybe five foot one! But I had to say when I looked down into her grayish eyes, it was like I was falling into them. I closed my eyes thinking that I was losing any adrenaline that I had from the near fatal event.

Then I felt something cold touch my left cheek, which made me open my eyes in time to see her pursed lips leaving my left cheek.

“I’m sorry for what I was about to force on you. Please let me do something to make it up to you!”

I took that to mean that she was going to get the fuck off the road, so i could continue my trip. I didn’t say anything, just turned to go back to my rig and get ready to leave her behind me. I had just reached the door when I saw a shape already inside sitting in the passenger seat. I threw open the driver’s door and was shocked when she was looking at me, smiling.

“Hey you can’t travel with me, I’m not insured to have passengers!”

“Oh I promise I won’t do anything to cause you to get caught breaking the interprovincial laws!” Then she seemed to be waiting for me to get in and get going. I thought. *Well at least I wasn’t going to run her over and I could use someone to talk to while I recover from the adrenaline she caused to rush through me.

So I got in and was back on my way when she asked if she could tell me a bit about herself. I was looking at the clear road ahead and that was why I said, “Sure what could it hurt?”

"Great! Well I’m Angela Burns, twenty-nine years old and I come from a small town called Barkersville just inside the Manitoba/Ontario border.” Then she said something that made me take my eyes off the road ahead and look directly at her.

“And I have never even been kissed by a guy who wasn’t related to me, so if you want to kiss me or do anything else to me, I promise I won’t stop you!”

I blurted out “Like what, fuck you?”

“Well considering what I might have caused you mentally, I wouldn’t stop you fucking me for that!”
