CHAPTER 2

NOV 9TH | 38℉☀

▸ Stampede down in Blackwell's Piggly Wiggly last night resulting in 3 injuries and at least 7 lawsuits! Witnesses claim that people were fighting over supplies for the evening's storm, namely canned goods and water.

▸ Blackwell Fire Department is astonished as one man tried to light a fire this seasons tepid windiest weather! The BFD would like to remind citizens that starting fires is illegal throughout the entire region and should only be done in designated camping fire pits.

▸ The search continues for the missing children. Officials have confirmed that the body is not associated with any high profile missing persons.

▸ Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I ain't the only one who will tell you so.

[ pauses. ]

It would be easier to converse if you came down here. I can't hear you properly.

[overworn]

That's bullshit and you know it. [ don't think she hasn't been her way around a car. ]

I hardly think superstition is good enough a reason not to search somewhere in any case.

[uhmurkin]

[ meh. worth a try. ]

Do it your way. [ you're all gonna die. or lose some limbs. half a limb. ] I was never one to stop you cops.

[ removes the flat tire. ]

You sure you don't want the oils changed?

[overworn]

Oil's fine. [ this isnt amateur hour ]

[uhmurkin]

Could be better in my honest opinion.

[ makes a little shrug directed at her even though she can't see him. no, he hasn't even checked the oil. ]

So where you from originally? The big apple?

[overworn]

What makes you think I'm from New York City?

[uhmurkin]

I like to think people get tired of the place and move in here. Are you saying you didn't?

[ wipes his hand on his jeans. ]

[overworn]

I'm not from there, and I didn't move here. [ close, though. ]

It's not that bad of a place, I hear Los Angeles is worse.

[uhmurkin]

That's too bad. I wish more people like you moved in.

Girls with flat tires. We could use more customers even if they're ones that would rather risk their own safety than see to it that their car's how it's supposed to be. Little is better than nothing.

[ slowly rolls the new tire to its place. ]

[overworn]

[ well if you didnt jack up your prices for things a toddler could do, maybe you'd get more business ]

You'd think you'd get a steady flow of traffic being right along the interstate.

[uhmurkin]

It's steady alright but I'd prefer a stronger current.

[ to be honest the shop isn't doing so bad but it's never enough with him. ]

[overworn]

Maybe try a bigger town. [ even though she gets the feeling that this is no place like home. ]

[uhmurkin]

Ohh hell no.

[ it might be a dump but it's their dump. ]

I have faith in this place.
