Story: The Backseat

Author's note: This story takes place immediately after The Road Trip part 7. It is NOT necessary to read The Road Trip before reading this story. You only need to know that there is an RV stuck in traffic on a freeway near the southwest border of Nebraska and one of its occupants is using a magic wand on others in the area.


The Backseat: A Tale from The Road Trip
By Varian Milagro

“Can you roll the window up, angel?” Dolores asked from the front, passenger seat.

Erica rolled her eyes at her mom. Being in the seat directly behind her, it went unnoticed. “The air conditioning is giving me a headache.”

She’d lied about getting a headache; truth was that she hated being trapped in a car on a warm sunny day. That they were stuck in traffic only made it worse. The warmth of the sun on her arms and face were the only things that kept her from losing it.

“You’re letting the hot air in,” Dolores said as she rummaged through her purse. “I have some aspirin for your head.”
