turbo, peter, and a life on the road
Turbo is a wolf like dog i found by the side of the road, lying in a heap with a hurt leg. When i found him, he was not making much noise or doing much of anything except for lying around and breathing, so i lifted him up and put him in the back seat of my car, because there isn't anything there except for a few old issues of 'piano genius' from back when i wanted to be, well, a piano genius.
I was all alone on the road, driving nowhere in particular, so i thought i would start up a conversation with the dog. I said, 'do you have a name, little man?' He said nothing, so i said, 'do you mind if i call you turbo?' He said nothing, so i started telling Turbo about what i had been going through recently. I started with my life before Hollow Hills and worked my way somewhat aimlessly through to the present.
We stopped off at a small community and i had someone look at Turbo's leg. I don't know what was wrong with it, and maybe there wasn't anything wrong with it at all, because by the end of the day he was walking on it like nothing was wrong, so i bought him some food and sat outside with him while i ate my dinner. I talked to him about a life out on the road, travelling from place to place, discovering new things and meeting new people. Ever since then, i haven't been able to get rid of him, which isn't to say i've been trying. He sticks to my side like a trusty sidekick, and i must say it's nice to have a companion.
As for Peter, i met him just as Turbo and i were leaving. He came up to me, this old looking guy in an old grey coat with an old looking beard and he said 'Where you headed?' and i said, 'Uh, wherever, really.' and he said 'if you could take me to the next town i'd be mighty grateful' and i said 'sure thing! i was hoping for a new destination anyway!'
So for the last few days we have been a trio. It turns out that Peter is a veteran from a war he calls the old secret wars, which were wars so secret most people know nothing about them. Driving down the empty road that first night, Peter said to me, 'Blake, if that is indeed your real name, know this. You can never trust anyone but yourself, and even then you still can't know if you are trustworthy'
Peter has been telling me a bit about the old secret wars but i will have to inform you all later on their history because there is still lots i don't know, and Peter tends to jump from story to story a bit randomly. It is all very interesting, i can assure you, and he even wants to show me a secret base that is hidden underground a little out of the town we are heading towards! It sounds very very cool!
It's all really exciting stuff. I think being out on the road is a really good decision, and with company like this, how can things possibly go bad?
Blake out.
