Enter the Web of Illusion: A Short, Short Novella.
Prelude:
In Texas, there are big trucks that drive about 90 miles an hour down the freeway, swerving in and out of traffic like formula ones.
Chapter One.
Driving to class, I was behind a truck. The truck was pretty big, and had detail work done on its paint. In short, it looked like the sort of trucks that drive very fast in Texas. Following a strategy of getting behind reckless speed freaks and following at a safe (albeit speedy) distance, I switched lanes and matched pace with the truck.
Chapter Two.
Time passed. The road reeled ever outward into the nothingness of Texas.
Chapter Three.
It slowly dawned on me that I was not actually going fast. I looked at my speedometer. Ten miles below the speed limit.
"What the hey?" I exclaimed.
Chapter Four.
It occurred to me that the truck merely appeared to be a fast truck, and thus gave off the illusion of speed. In fact, the truck was The Great Deceptor, and I was ensnared by the tangled brambles of illusion that grew from it.
Chapter Five.
I passed the truck.
The End.
