It was supposed to be a simple task. A little errand. One Smokescreen could easily get done before the day was over, especially if he speed down the streets, taking shortcuts and cutting through the shadier parts of the city. It was a risky route to take, but he felt confident he could handle any trouble that came his way. His blasters were still installed despite how rarely they were used nowadays.
Maybe it was because the Praxian had seen one too many human horror films, but he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease as he turned down a particularly dark corner. Slowing down to a stop, a quick glance at his GPS told him that taking this route would save him a few minutes, allowing him to avoid the usual traffic on the main roads. And yet he still found himself stalling.
It’s just a lil dark. No reason to be afraid. He thought, switching on his high beams, not because he was scared, but because it was easier to see where he was going.
