There was a strange plopping sound and before he knew it...the vehicle he was in stopped moving. He sat in the driver's seat for a minute trying to process what just happened. "What in the hell...?" he finally exclaimed. It wasn't just the van he was in...but it was everything else around him, too. Had he been hurdled into he future? Or had he somehow just woke from a stasis that he'd been unwittingly trapped in? He didn't know. What he did know, was that this van wasn't going anywhere and he wasn't even sure where he was.
