Comment from Wayne Fowler
Great concept, interviewing the founding fathers. Woulda been nice to hear some historical stuff besides hi French dalliance though (smiley face here)
Is the rig a manual transmission? If automatic, why not 'park' instead of neutral?
Best wishes.

No, it's 13-speed Fuller trany.

Does neutral have a 'lock-in' system, preventing accidental shifting?
-
No. I just put it in neutral, set the air brakes and walk away. if it ever did the brakes would stall out the engine.

Gotcha.

This has some clever parts. I know Ben Franklin had many lady friends. I am glad you kept a certain detail a bit more subtle as a suggestion.
Little fixes, even though I realize the trucker narrator is not a college genius.

Just say deliveries.
"I did. He plead the fifth amendment."
I would say: "I did. He pled the Fifth Amendment."
"You have yourself a fruitfull and happy life. Goodbye."
Change fruitfull to fruitful.
The inside laid in a huge pile of rubble
Just change 'laid' to 'lay.' Otherwise it sounds like you are personifying 'inside' to be able to lay in supplies, even if it is a huge pile of rubble.

I take this has something to do with existing on two plains of tome, with the first person being narrator, it may sometimes be good as third person eye glance. Viola seems to be a Little annoyed by the visitation to her diner, beautifully written Tom, blessings Roy

Comment from Julie Helms
An interesting and non-traditional way to introduce your historical characters into the story. If the story of Ben Franklin and the Madame in Paris is based on fact, I have never heard that before.
So since he wasn't asleep, you have me wondering what was going on? Your story kept my attention to the end. Thanks for sharing! Julie
