<p><span>Barney W. Schoch Sr. has spent more than 10+ years in the Technical field and later twenty-three years as a long-haul/local truck driver, navigating highways shaped by fatigue, repetition, and long stretches of isolation. His writing is informed by the psychological cost of endurance and the discipline required to keep moving when time begins to blur. 34 Hours is his first novelette; a work of psychological horror rooted in the lived reality of the road.</span></p>
