Truck Driver

The lonely Stuart Highway, dawn. A kookaburra’s laugh echoes off sun-baked tarmac. A long-haul trucker spies a white van tailing his rig, its taillights blinking like predator eyes. A taut, sun-fried chase from dusk until the next dawn, via fuel-stops and roadhouses only ghosts visit.
