I knew I was doing the right thing when I lugged my backpack on my shoulder and slowly crept through the truck yard. I saw truck #73 and slowly inched the door up on the Eighteen-Wheeler and army crawled in. I closed the door and tried to make myself comfortable it was going to be a long ride. I closed my eyes and sleep took over.
I woke up to the growling of a engine the truck started to move. I heard a whimper I froze in fear then realized were it was coming from. My backpack, I unzipped it and a fluffy head poked out. It was Hero my pet snouzer (dog that looked like he has a beard) it was a miniature snouzer so don't think I fit a full grown German Shepard in my bag. I let him loose to explore. It wasn't much to explore a 40x8x10 with 4 crates of carrots. I picked this truck because if I ran out of food I could always eat the carrots.
"Come here Max"
The small dog walked over to me and curled around twice before sitting down in my lap. I leaned back and tried but failed to go to sleep. I started to think about my uncle I had left a note to tell him where I was going. I had read the note so many times I knew it by heart.
Uncle Sam I love you but I know we don't have any money so I have decided to leave for both of our sakes. I want you to be happy. Don't come looking for me please this is best for both of us I have $79 saved and I took it. We can just live our separate lives. I am only going to tell you the state I'm going to (so you don't try and find me) Mississippi. Yes I know this a long way from our home in Florida. I will find a job there or I will find someone to adopt me. I love you.

P.S. I took MaxP.S. I took 2 sandwiches and a water bottle
My uncle was really nice he started to take care of me after my parents died 2 years ago in a train wreak. My parents were middle class and they left all there money to me but I can't legally have it until I'm 18. I'm only 14 right now so 4 years until I can get it.
Then suddenly the truck stoped and backed up I slowly hid behind a carrot, crate. Then after a few minutes was started to move again. Then I realized the truck was probably just getting gas. I decided I had to sleep so I closed my eyes and just laid there. I slowly let sleep take over.
"Boom Boom"I woke up instantly and I slid my half asleep body behind a crate. The light super bright blinding light came flowing in the truck. I glanced around the corner into the light and saw a fork lift lifting a crate out of the truck. As it was doing that I ran out and kept running. I tripped and fell but got back up again and ran. I ran strait into a person I said sorry and started to run again but he grabbed the back of my t-shirt.
"Were are you going boy?"he asked.
"To find somewhere to stay for the night"
"Were are your parents?"
"They died two years ago and my uncle was taking care of me?"
"Well your staying here while I work and then we will go to my house and eat dinner."
"Really!"
"Nope see ya kid."
He turned around and walked off. He suddenly turned around.
"I'm kidding man come on let get to my office."
