Stuck
by Jon Caswell

Kerry climbed into his over-sized, four-wheel-drive truck, which stood three or four feet off the ground. He turned the key in the ignition. Nothing happened. He turned it again, but still nothing. He looked at Lisa in the passenger seat and could tell from her eyes that she was frightened.
"I told you I didn't want to come out here in this old truck," she said. "I told you, but you wouldn't listen. You better get us out of here. I hate this old truck!"
Kerry looked out the window. The woods were beautiful in the dusk. The ferns were like velvet covering the ground, punctuated by the tall spires of the pine trees. He loved taking his truck off-road. Beautiful as it was, Kerry knew this was no place to be if it rained, and it sure looked like rain was coming. He could smell it in the air.
He turned the key again, with the same result as before. Lisa started to say something, but Kerry put his hand up. "I don't need your opinion," he said. Kerry opened the door and climbed down. He walked to the front of the truck and popped the hood and stepped onto the bumper so he could look at the engine compartment.
There wasn't enough light to see anything, and he climbed back down and got a flashlight out of the cab. Stepping onto the bumper, he pointed the light at the engine and saw the loose wire immediately. The wire from the ignition switch to the starter had come unplugged. He figured it must have happened during the ride up the mountain; there had been some pretty rough patches. He reached across the engine and plugged it in.
"Turn the key," he yelled.
Lisa moved into the driver's seat and turned the key. The engine in the big truck fired to life. Kerry smiled and slammed the hood as he jumped to the ground. Lisa scooted over as he climbed into the cab. "I knew you could do it," she said.
The first drops of rain splattered the windshield. "We have to get out of here before that storm moves in." He engaged the four-wheel drive and began turning the truck around. That took a bit of maneuvering, but once they were headed down the mountain, Lisa relaxed a little bit.
"Hey, see if you can find that weather station on the radio," Kerry said.
