A whole lotta nothing

As I sat in the back of the Ford Ranger next to a 65 gallon tank of gas the song When the Levee Breaks by Led Zepp came on I stood up and look around all I saw was a whole lotta nothing just grass and the occaisional tree and a house or the burned wreck of one

It was me and 2 other people both of them family one was Tucker an adopted gangbanger from Detroit and Nick another cousin from Marquette both met me in Southern Wisconsin and we figured we'd head west towards our uncles cabin in the Rockies well that was 4 days ago and we've been drivng non-stop taking turns

The roads were surprisingly clear I mean there were a few cars here and there that we'd either swerve around if they were burned out or siphon gas

So as I sat there going over the past few days we screeched to a halt I popped up with my Mossberg in hand ready to fire when I saw a big fuel tanker truck right in front of us I said to my self "Jackpot" and I hopped out of the bed with Nick and Tucker joining me

Tucker and Nick were both armed, Tucker had two Desert Eagle he refered to as the Bellas and Nick he had a .303 with scope anyway we walked towards the truck and Tuck tapped it the truck still had some fuel in it

So we pulled the truck along back of the tanker and filled up our 65 tank and our car tank all with Nick sitting on the Roof of the truck making sure we didn't have any company

Well we did unfortunatly 2 King Ranch trucks were coming up from behind us but were still 600 yards away we didn't want to risk a fight so we bolted but Tucker decided he'd leave a little surprise for them he lite a match and dropped it into the gas puddle that came from the gas spewing out tucker ran up to the side of the truck and I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the bed and we zoomed off quick as we could

Well we got 100 yards from the tanker when it blew the shockwave lifted the ass end of the truck up 2 feet that woke us up but we still got away and laughed our asses off because shit who's gonna stop us?

Then Nick yells "Hey you know those guys coulda been people just like us that really could of needed the gas" Tucker said "Yeah that would suck but at least I got to blow some shit up?" we all laughed and kept on driving

We drove and drove and drove seeing absolutly nothing but then we drove over this berm and BOOM there were the Rockies snow capped mountains at first we were kind of dumbstruck and then Nick yells "FUCK YEAH WE MADE IT FUCK THE ZOMBIES, THE COPS, FUCK 'EM ALL, WE FUCKING MADE IT" after Nicks tirade there was a string of profanities about all this shit we've seen

We're home....finally
