:41:01
I don't think so.
:41:04
But then I'm kind of reading it
and then writing it.
:41:13
It was in the middle of
the desert, in the middle of nowhere,
:41:17
but on the way to Vegas,
so, you know,
:41:20
every once in a while
a car would pull in, get gas.
:41:23
It was the last gas stop
before Vegas.
:41:26
Office had the chair,
had a cash register,
:41:29
and that was all the room
there was in that office.
:41:32
I was asleep,
and I heard a noise.
:41:36
You know,
just like in my mind.
:41:40
So I got up, and I walked out,
:41:44
and I stood on the curb of
where the gas station ends,
:41:48
you know, the driveway there.
:41:51
I'm rubbing the sand out of my eyes,
trying to see what's going on,
:41:54
and way down at the very end
of the gas station...
:41:58
they had tire racks.
:42:00
Chains around them, you know.
:42:03
And I see there's
an Econoline van down there.
:42:06
And there's a guy
with his T-shirt off,
:42:09
and he's packing
his Econoline van...
:42:13
with all of these tires.
:42:16
He's got the last two tires
in his hands,
:42:21
pushes them into the thing,
:42:23
and then I, of course,
I go, " Hey, you!"
:42:27
This guy turns around,
he's got no shirt on,
:42:31
he's sweating, he's built
like a brick shithouse,
:42:35
pulls out a knife,
it's 1 2 inches long,
:42:38
and then starts running at me
as fast as he can, going,
:42:47
I'm still--
:42:51
"This is wrong."
I walked in,
:42:56
stuck my hand behind the cash register
where the owner kept a.41 revolver,
