Wreckers (Dystopian, Post Apocalyptic, Cyberpunk Short Story)

Dane and Aden are a pair of outlaws who make their "party money" by forcing freight trucks off the road and looting their cargo.

In the unforgiving wasteland it's every soul for themselves and if you don't have a scam or hustle you'll wind up dead in the dust. The fabled coastal towns are the only lands left where any decent food grows. They're then taken by trucks across the desert to the homes of the elite, wealthy CEOs, politicians and anyone that can afford to keep their clothes clean of blood and sand.

The Wreckers force the cargo trucks in to crashes and take what they can carry back to the outposts and bazaars to make some quick credits.

But there's something important in their latest wreck that won't be easily forgotten or written off.
