The Great Adventure
A Novel From The Creator Of The Rusty Goat
Excerpt from Nineteen Seventy Something
"Denny, I ain't gonna help you steal gas!"
He fumbled with the lock, "I don't need you to help me steal gas...I just need you to help me carry it back!"
"Man, we shouldn't steal this farmer's gas. That ain't right."
"Haw! He's the richest farmer in the county! He ain't gonna miss it..." Denny held the nozzle in one hand and reached for the two buckets I was carrying.
