On the Road
Being on the road always feels like a mixed blessing.
For one, he appreciates seeing the world, seeing it on the ground level, meeting people and living with them and finding out how their own personal microcosm works. He appreciates the chance to ply his trade as he travels, and learn new trades as well: bartending, freight hauling, carpentry, plumbing, ice fishing...
But every time a lead doesn't work out, every time he feels further and further away from answers about who he is and why he's here and why he can do what he can do...
Every step is towards another success and the fear of another failure.
He doesn't figure he's going to have very much luck today, though. It's rough out, and most of the trucks making their way along this road don't have a lot of room to pull over, which means that while he sticks out his thumb as often as he hears the rumbling of an engine, he's been walking all day.
