Fur Dog Trucking — Day 59

Genre: Horror

Plot: Crispen Ford is a long-haul truck driver with a rare machine indeed: his 18-wheel tractor trailer, "Fur Dog," is completely covered in brown fur and has a giant dog head stretched over the cab of his truck. Everywhere he goes people smile and flock to get a closer look at Fur Dog. But the truth about Ford and his wacky truck is more incredible—and terrifying—than anyone could imagine. Fur Dog is actually a living monster and several times a month Ford must lure unsuspecting people into the cargo container that is actually Fur Dog's digestive tract. As the truck drives on, Fur Dog's digestive process begins and within a few hundred miles all that's left is a few thin pieces of bone fragment clattering down the highway.

Amy Carlson is the maid-of-honor on a very special bachelorette party. Her sister Hillary is getting married in a few weeks, and Amy has organized a camp out in the high Colorado mountains. After a night under the stars the ladies decide it's time to head into town to the local honkey tonk bar and find some good old boys to amuse themselves with. Sitting in the parking lot is the most unusual tractor trailer any of them have ever seen. The ladies descend on the bar and immediately have the place eating out of the palm of their hand.

The only person present who seems unaffected by their charms and refuses to join in in all the fun is a sulking drunkard at the bar named Ford. After years on the road with Fur Dog, (and no memory of how his servitude began, or who he used to be), Ford has had just about all the killing he can stand and has secretly resolved to end his life tonight. The ladies see his unresponsiveness as a challenge, and make him the sole focus of their attention, unaware of the danger they are courting.

Ford's walls begin to crumble, and just as he is about confess his sins to the ladies, he catches Fur Dog leering at him from across the parking lot, through the window of the bar. He is powerless, and knows now that Fur Dog can not be resisted, and that the monster has chosen the bride as the next item on the menu. 

And then, in his desperation, Ford has an even darker thought: usually Fur Dog only eats a person every week or so. But what would happen if Ford could lure the entire bachelorette party into Fur Dog's cargo hold? That would surely shock Fur Dog's digestive system and gum up the works... and maybe give Ford enough of a head start to actually escape the ravenous machine?

Ford tells the ladies about the small party pad he's built in the back of his truck. It's just like a swinging-sixties cocktail lounge, he promises. Shag carpeting, lava lamps, bean bag chairs, Christmas lights and a disco ball, and, most importantly, a fully stocked wet bar with free weed and a killer jukebox sound system. The ladies are tickled pink and, convinced that Ford is lying to impress them, they call his bluff. As ford throws open the rear doors to Fur Dog the ladies squeal in delight. The set up is just as Ford described—even better. The ladies pile in and go to town at the wet bar and the jukebox. They marvel at their luck and the bride hugs her sister with tears in her eyes. It is more fun than any bride-to-be could ever hope to have, and the bachelorette party of her dreams.

And then Ford slams the doors shut. The truck immediately starts, and lurches forward a few feet before Ford can fully lock the doors... The ladies are now screaming bloody murder and throw themselves against the doors and burst them open. The bulk of them fall out on top of Ford, whom they begin pounding on with their fists. And just as the last lady—the bride—is about to jump down and join the melee, the doors slam shut trapping her inside, Fur Dog roars to life and drives off on its own.

The ladies and a bloodied Ford all look up in shock and horror. The bride!!!  "....What the hell...?!" Shouts Ford, "It's never left without me! ...I'M FREE!!!" ...And then the ladies continue beating the shit out of him until he tells them the horrible truth, and reveals the fate they've all consigned the bride to. If they can't catch Fur Dog in the next 50-80 miles, he tells them, then they won't want what's left of the bride back.

And so begins the epic chase to save the bride, with bridesmaid-extraordinaire, Amy Carlson, her crew of ladies, and the hostage Ford in hot pursuit of the greatest evil ever to drive the open roads of the US of A.
