SciFiFan Post Myth-In-Law

Hi All!!  It’s another Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday and after a brief hiatus, I’m back in the saddle with one of the WIP’s, Myth-In-Law.  I know I kind of left everyone hanging with my last post and Sam’s grandfather, the Professor, about to engage in a bout of road chicken with a demonic eighteen wheeler.  I’m glad everyone seemed to enjoy where the story is heading and I promise to finish up the sequence in the next couple sequences.  Thanks for reading and if you need a refresher, feel free to check out the other snippets I’ve posted from this work here and on Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday.  As always, please take some time to check out all of the fantastic authors over at their site and if you could be so kind, please leave a few comments.  They are always appreciated.  Enjoy!!
          The RV’s wheels lurched forward as the Professor put his plan into motion, literally.  It wasn't the best laid of ideas but with him they rarely were.  He only had one shot at this but he’d risk anything to get back to Sam.            He made it fifty feet down the road as the tractor trailer’s wheels squealed, dark smoke billowing from the rear tires of the cab.  He swore he heard the stuffed rabbit serving as the rig’s masthead laughing as they approached one another.  The space between these rolling mechanical giants closed with each passing second and the dirt pull off the Professor spied adjacent to the highway seemed closer to the rig than his own RV.  He figured what he lost to the big rig in weight and horsepower, he made up for in pickup speed, enough to get him to the safety of the rest area before he became road pizza.           “Come on, Bessie, we can do this.”          They’d logged a lot of miles together, him and his faithful old RV, crossed the country more times than he could remember; a wintry sled ride down the back side of the Rockies in search of Edison’s device to speak to the dead, through the Redwoods of Washington on watch for a rampaging Sasquatch.  Another ten seconds and he’d make it to the turnoff.
