The Complete Drive-in
““You’re gonna catch the truck on fire,” Crier said.
“No, I ain’t,” Bob said. “We’re right here in front of the fire.”
“I won’t burn up to save the truck,” Crier said.
“Count me out too,” Grace said.
“It’s all right,” Bob said. “I’m watching it.”
After that we sat there and thought and said a little now and then, but not too much because we had our minds on some things, like the fact the highway was starting to change. The nights were getting darker, as if the air was getting thicker, and there were posters and popcorn bags and soft drink cups and the like lying about, and I figured pretty soon we’d be getting into the stormy part. Already we were seeing things in the truck mirrors, and sometimes things reflected in the windows; things like the face of King Kong, the Frankenstein monster clinging to the side of the truck, Dracula and Daffy Duck with their arms around one another.
It was pretty disconcerting to see stuff like that, then look and not find anything there to reflect it.
