Sparks in the Seat

Snap! Jolt! My joints unlocked with a sudden click. Sunlight cut across the roof rack, lighting up the cab. I lunged upright, hook twitching. Right beside me sat a sleek robot figure with a massive blue dome visor. I reached out and tapped the glossy visor with my hook tip—clink! A vivid blue glare flared right back at me. I rattled my jaw in excitement and leaned back against the black seat, ready to bolt.
