Truck Stop

Christopher Tradgett

A short story based around Hexham, Northumberland, UK.

Pete's early morning drive north to sort out his uncle Graham's estate takes an unexpected turn at a seemingly innocuous truck stop.

Witnessing a suspicious rendezvous involving truckers, a mysterious Audi, and a bearded man, Pete's unease grows. What was initially a simple family matter becomes a puzzling entanglement, as Pete discovers more about his secretive uncle's life, including a surprising connection to one of the men from the truck stop.

This journey of discovery forces Pete to re-evaluate his understanding of his family and the hidden truths within it.

"Truck Stop has that rare cinematic quiet tension that sneaks up on you - the kind where every ordinary moment feels suspicious, and every silence is loud with secrets. The way you blend rural realism with slow-burn suspense makes the story feel lived in, like a cold morning drive through fog where truth might be waiting at the next exit." Anna Lawrence
