Project Truck by Alex Jaimes
Nonfiction
Abandoned truck. Project build. Sold it
I saw this abandoned truck on the side of the road and it was great for a project truck. I stopped to see, and a guy named Homie pulled up.
“How much you want for this truck you have here, all abandoned?”
I asked.
He told me, “I’ll give it to you for 1k.”
“I’ll take that deal.”
With time I fixed it little by little, and got to a point where I fell in love with the build and also didn’t want to sell it. I kept it for myself. I divided my six word story into three individual pieces and wrote about my build.
It literally says I found an abandoned truck, and I use it as a project truck. I sold it. The reader doesn’t know that I fell in love with the truck, how I got it, what I had to do, and the time it took me to customize it. It took a lot of hard work. This was a project truck, and something I put time and also a few grand into. l had in mind to sell it, but then I liked how it turned out, and didn’t sell it.
I made the choice to write about this story because I was born into trucks and building my own meant a lot to me. I customized my own truck to modify it the way I wanted to. I also wanted to have more trucks so I did this project to get money out, but decided to keep it.
I chose the word “abandoned” so it showed it wasn’t a brand new truck. It was a classic old truck that I gave life again. I use the words “project build” because I wanted to fix it, and it was not in great condition. I fixed it, and used it as a project build. I didn’t sell it, so when the reader finds out, they are left wondering why it wasn’t sold. I put the periods so it divided the three sentences when they read it. The three ideas come together to convey that anything can be done no matter what, but you can make a dream come true. I made mine by building my truck from scratch to making it look really clean.
