After Midnight

AFTER-WHITE

You’ve won!

“What can they make us do?” Jon sighed. “We weren’t forced here; we agreed to be on this game show!” As they weren’t forced or bribed to leave Highway 67 on their way to Boston after being pulled over by Highway patrol for a minor-infraction (so they both thought—a broken left taillight—something like that), and given friendly thank-you- kindly advice by Mr. Patrol that if they were in a hurry—or just wanted to shorten their trip, that they should take the shortcut through Bangor, Maine, and not to mention it. He liked to help passersby—Mr. Patrol, and besides, it would be where they would find the finest homemade momma’s all-American apple-pie as close to heaven as stripping fresh bacon off a hogs’ ass at that time of day. Which would be lunch-hour: 12: 05pm. They had been waiting there on two steel stools since around that time—almost half an hour.

 

Their behinds were definitely past numb—they would have been in Boston by now, Jon reminded, if their piece of crap (a yellow Subaru—Rita’s choice, he also added) car wouldn’t have up and decided to drop dead in the hub of Bangor. But that’s exactly what it did, after refuelling at a small Texaco, of course. “All right, you two love-birds!” hollered a short well-dressed man hurrying their way from down the hall of star-labelled dressing rooms. “It’s showtime!” They eagerly hopped off their seats and the man directed them in front of a large stage-curtain.
