Burning Bridges on Pancake Sunday

Waylan's truck wouldn't start so we had to walk all the way back into town. The damn thing would just cough up some exhaust, refusing to turn over. He paid only a few hundred bucks for that piece a shit last fall... serves us right I suppose.

The night before the bottle had the best of us. I could still feel it in my veins as we hitched along the interstate. Walking with the sun in our eyes, tryin' to remember what had happened the night before.
I know that we had slaughtered a hog for supper, and sometime after that Rita had stopped by to eat with us. She brought over a few bottles of ripple; the cheap kind that gets ya all red eye drunk.
I thought it was just a dream, but I think Waylan might have strangled that Rita in the shed out back after havin' his way with her.

Yeah... I reckon' the body is still in there... stinkin' to high hell of blood and old rotgut wine.
