draw a richard with your poop


draw a richard with your poop

You stylize a box flap into an object that resembles a paint brush. You use your poop as the paint and make the most artistic dong possible on the wall of the trailer. Or so you think, since you have to squint to see anything in the very low amount of light.

see if you can find something on the floor around you with this newly-acquired sunlight that could possibly help you with moving the latch

You scrounge around on the floor looking for things to stick under the door, but most things are too big. You use the remainder of the box flap and manage to touch the latch, but when you apply force the cardboard just bends.

Try and make a knife. When your uncle lets you out, shank him.

Since nothing of interest appears to be on the floor, you dig around in the boxes that you find. You find a small keychain flashlight and use it to your advantage. After rummaging around, you find a box of kitchen tools/utensils. You find a screwdriver and amble your way back to the door. After lying on the cold metal floor for a minute, you unhitch the latch. The door is now unlocked, but the truck is still moving along the highway. If you throw the door up, someone might call the cops and you could be severely injured or die if the truck bumps you out.

when he lets you out, find a way to kill him and take the truck

You aren't sure if you want to wait for him and engage in combat, since you know he has a gun(s) somewhere, but escaping unharmed while he isn't outside the truck will be virtually impossible on a highway since there aren't any stoplights.

You are in some sort of truck with cardboard boxes inside. You are moving along an unknown highway and have no idea how long you were unconscious or where you are.

Rummage through his stuff and keep anything useful. Throw all of the rest of it out onto the highway. Aim for the right side of the truck so he is less likely to see everything in his left mirrior next to his face. If you find a gun or some weapon then use it on him

If you have traffic behind you then maybe rethink this unless you see a police car. If you do then open the door and lay down waving your arms around so he sees you without you falling out

Jump out, get out of there.

wave to the car behind him to call the police, and then shut the latch

rip off cardboard, get some "paint" and write "save me" on the cardboard.
after this open the back door and wave your sign

Jump out, get out of there.

You jump out of the truck while it is moving at highway speeds. You land on the pavement and your skin is shaved off as you listen to (and feel) your bones as they snap like twigs. You roll into a ditch in the middle of some tall grass where you bleed out.

RIP. Revert to last auto save.

You quickly spot the gun safe, but it's quite obviously locked and you have no idea what the combination is. You manage to locate a few kitchen knives, so you take the sharpest one.

You sort some boxes of stuff that you've deemed to be unimportant. You open the door and start tossing them out, where they land in the grass before tumbling to a stop. The moving truck passes under an overpass and you see a car entering onto the highway. You wave your hands but they're too far away to notice as they are still accelerating. In the oncoming lane next to the overpass exit ramp, you see a sign reading "Milton". You must be near a town called Milton.

You use your self-made paint to construct a distress sign reading "save me".

wave to the car behind him to call the police, and then shut the latch

The car is approaching the truck quickly now. The driver is squinting at you and seems alarmed. You wave your sign and be vigorously speeds up until he's a few feet from the truck. He changes to the left lane and starts honking his horn and flashing his headlights. The moving truck rumbles onto the shoulder and rapidly starts slowing down. You are thrown across the truck and smash face first into a pile of boxes. The moving truck comes to a stop and the car pulls up right behind it. The driver of the car opens his door. Inside, you can hear his radio broadcasting an Amber Alert about a kidnapping from Richmond, VA. You hear that the descriptive vehicle is a small U-Haul truck with a broken headlight.

Hopefully nothing will happen with a witness here to help you.

You hold the knife defensively ready to shank any person willing to harm you.

For good measure, you wipe it across your dung pile before covering it with a box.

Outside, you can hear the frantic bystander pacing around and yelling for the driver to get out of the cab. You hear the cab door open and the bystander stops yelling. You hear the thunk of the door closing, followed by the clopping of boots walking along the side of the truck. You hear a brief exchange of hushed words followed by more elevated yelling from the bystander. The person who you assume is the driver sighs, and suddenly you see some black greasy fingers come underneath the back door. The door is thrown upwards and you are absolutely blinded by the sudden amount of light. Feeling vulnerable, you jump back and out of potential reach while your eyes adjust. You hear deep ugly laughter from the black figure surrounded by the white light. Something is definitely not right.

Your pupils shrink enough to make out the person. It's not your uncle. It's a fat man in a greasy shirt and jeans. His belly hangs out from under his shirt.

"Been having a fun ride, kid??" he stammers over his laughing.

The bystander is very disturbed and asks what relation that you are to this man. The fat guy quickly responds saying, "Uh uh he's my friend's son I've known him since he was a baby!" he looks back into the truck at you, "Right boy?" He gives a very menacing look and discreetly runs his hand over his pocket.

The bystander watches for your response. You are pretty certain that you don't want to be in this truck but you also don't want to cause a dangerous confrontation. You don't have any idea who the guy is or what his mannerisms are. You are in a box and should he turn on you, it'll be like shooting fish in a barrel.
