want a lift?
sure. thank you.
where you headed?
away.
how far away?
aways.
i am headed that way myself.
good.
maybe quite aways, maybe not so quite aways.
better and better.
can i ask you a question?
go for it.
are you on a mission?
um - no, i wouldn’t say so.
i am.
i’m impressed.
an ancient and honorable mission - vengeance. on everybody that’s ever done me wrong. and that’s a lot of people.
i am sorry to hear that. sorry that you were done wring, i mean.
my name is slim, by the way,
just slim? slim i usually from some place, like omaha slim, or madagascar silim, or lithuania slim, or wherever.
i used to be but now i am just slim. it’s more anonymous that way.
i guess so. this sure is a dark highway.
highway’s always been dark.
i don’t know. i read somewhere it used to be bustling. the spinal cord or the life blood of civilization or something like that.
shouldn’t believe anything you read. always been dark as far back as i know, and that’s a long time.
i defer to your judgment and experience.
defer, that’s a good twenty dollar word. what ’s your name, by the way?
smith - bill smith.
