Getting her old truck ready for the convention was no problem. She had always taken good care of Dad’s old truck. He had taught her how to care for it after she received it as a gift so she could drive to school. Cleaning it out and taking it to the local oil change place to have the oil changed and the truck inspected before the trip. The truck was considered a classic now because of its age. To her it was just a bell used truck with dents and some rust. Considering it was a nineteen seventy two Chevy it was still fairly good looking. It seemed that daily people would ask her to sell it to them. She always turned down the offers. Even when they were thousands more than she thought it was worth.
The last few days wind down before the convention. She checked and rechecked the things that she was bringing along to the convention. On Thursday night before she was to leave in the morning she packed her suitcase with the two costumes and clothing. Placing her hygiene items in the outer pocket of the suitcase incase one or more of them leaked. Making sure she had room for things she might purchase at the convention. Satisfied she closes it and sets it down ready for the trip in the morning. The weather report on the ten-o-clock news was the typical Texas weather for the time of the year. The Weatherman said it was going to be a hot weekend. Temperatures in the hundred degree range over the Labor Day weekend. She considered the heat when she decided to wear a leopard print spandex sundress with brown sandals for the drive up to Dallas. Light and easy to move in the outfit made sense. “No reason to burn up during the drive to the con or waiting in line at registration.” She mumbled. It was a good three hour trip to Dallas from her home and the old truck didn’t have air conditioning. Setting the alarm for five in the morning she went to bed.
Brandy’s sleep seemed way to short for the time she was in bed. Normally she had no dreams when she slept. She had several vivid ones during the night. The last one she had was like a foretelling. She saw herself standing in a cage. People were parading by looking at her as she stood in the cage. She tried to talk but, all she made were growling sounds. Surprised by that she looked at her paws on the bars? The alarm to wake up goes off waking her from the dream. Covered with sweat she gets up and begins getting ready for the trip to Dallas.
