convenience store

So those arseholes didnt let me in. I started looking for a place to crash, but I found a convenience store instead. I open a can of peaches and a bottle of whiskey. Least I think its whiskey. I cant taste real good no more.
After breakfast I feel a little better.
Im trying to remember what happened last night ... i think I was .... there was a guy .... with a .... thing ... he looked alright but then...
Fuck I dont know.
Now this guy walks in the store. He looks just like Burt Reynolds from smokey and the bandit. He's breathing, I think. Looks like shit.
"You look like shit" I say.
"Yeah, well, my wife left me" he says.
"Yeah? Maybe if you didnt look like such a piece a shit she woulda stayed."
"Hey, fuck you pal."
"Fuck me? Thats what your wife did."
"Yeah right. " he says. "She was a frigid little bitch even when she was alive. Just used to lie there."
"Well she was into it with me. Moaning and everything."
We stared at each other.
"Names Wendal." I say. "Nice to meet ya."
"Shaun. Call me Zed. Want a drink?"
He goes over and starts eating a can of beans or something. I hate beans. I start flicking through the dirty mags. Theres a picture of this girl in the shower.
"This your wife?" i say.
He looks at it. "I wish." Then, a little later, he says "Fuck me."
"I know huh. Been a long time."
"Hot water and everything." he says.
I search the store some more and find a baseball bat behind the counter. It'll do in a pinch. Zed tells me he's got this nice place, boarded up, generator and everything. Sounds alright. I'll go check it out. Beats waking up on the street in my own piss again.
