Nothing more than a very short story. I would like to work on it one day maybe make it into a long story, first have to finish other writing :-)

She was driving down the freeway and swerved slightly to miss a pothole. But the backwheel clipped it causing her car to bounce on the road. She glanced in her rearview mirror as a thump came from her boot, but saw nothing. A minute later another thump came from the back of her car. Frowning she pulled over and stopped the car. She checked her self in the mirror and winked at her reflection before she got out. Walking around her car she looked around but the road was empty save a raven glaring at her from a nearby tree. She looked at the back of her car then opened the boot.
Two soulful eyes stared up at her, tear marks having left tracks. she checked to see if the ropes were still tied then ripped off the duct tape silencing her passenger. "What?" she asked. Her passenger smacked his lips and swallowed before replying "Can I get water?" She reached into the boot and pulled out a policeman's badge. "Alright pig, time to get out." "What? No!" But she was not listening as she cut the ropes and backed away. "Get out of the car little piggy," she said twirling the badge in her hands, "Don"t make me pull you out."
Her passenger sheepishly climbed out of the trunk falling over the edge of the boot. She motioned for him to walk out into the bleak, dead country side around them. The soulful eyes watched as she climbed back into the car. In her rearview mirror she watched the four tiny hooves puff up dust as her passenger walked away. "There goes some good bacon," said a voice. She looked at her reflection which winked back at her as she drove off leaving the pig to die wondering if the Big bad wolf would find her.
