1It was in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere,
En la escenaThe storyteller fixes the gas stop deep in the desert, far from any town, and the repeated 'middle' stresses the isolation.
Ejemplo cotidianoThe GPS led us to a farm in the middle of nowhere.
Ejemplo cotidianoThe campsite was in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere.
2but on the way to Vegas, so, you know,
3every once in a while a car would pull in, get gas.
4It was the last gas stop before Vegas.
5Office had the chair, had a cash register, and that was all the room there was in that office.
6I was asleep, and I heard a noise.
7You know, just like in my mind.
8So I got up, and I walked out, and I stood on the curb of where the gas station ends, you know, the driveway there.
9I'm rubbing the sand out of my eyes, trying to see what's going on,
10and way down at the very end of the gas station...
11they had tire racks.
12Chains around them, you know.
13And I see there's an Econoline van down there.
14And there's a guy with his T-shirt off, and he's packing his Econoline van...
15with all of these tires.
16He's got the last two tires in his hands, pushes them into the thing, and then I, of course, I
17go, " Hey, you!"
18This guy turns around, he's got no shirt on, he's sweating,
19he's built like a brick shithouse, pulls out a knife, it's 1 2 inches long,
20and then starts running at me as fast as he can, going,
21I'm still--
22"This is wrong." I walked in,
23stuck my hand behind the cash register where the owner kept a.41 revolver, pull it out,
24cocked the trigger, and just as I turned around, he was comin' through the door.
25And I could see his eyes. I'll never forget this guy's eyes.
26And he just had bad thoughts about me in his eyes.
27And I fired a round, and it hit him. Boom. Right in the chest.
28Bang. He went-- as fast as he was coming in the door, he went out the door.
29Went right up between the two pumps, ethyl and regular.
30And he must've been on drugs, on speed or something, you know, because he stood up...
31and he still had the knife, and the blood was just all over his chest,
32and he stood up and he went like that, just moved a little like that.
33And I was pretty much in shock, so I just held the trigger back and fanned the hammer.
34It's one of those old-time-- Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
35And I blew him out of the gas station.

Plain, rapid sentences and comic-book bangs turn a lurid shoot-out into a bar-room tall tale.
