Gas (v1.0)
by Shawn Rider
"Whatever we do, we need gas."
Marilyn pitches the van into the left lane.
"Nope, not Conoco."
"What's wrong with Conoco?"
"They help wipe out indigenous tribes in the Amazon, screw 'em outta their oil and mineral rights."
"So no Conoco? Where else, then?"
"There's a Shell up there on the right."
Aaron flicks Edgar in the ear. "They do the same shit Conoco does, 'cept in Africa. No Conoco, no Shell, then, either."
He lights up a Camel. "Sometimes y'all are some insensitive bastards. Besides, I'm hungry. That Shell ain't got no grub."
"All the good places are on the north side. South side is shit."
"We passed a Popeye's on the way here."
"No Popeye's. It'll make you sterile. Plus they support the KKK."
"Fried chicken gives me gas anyway. Turn here, there's Domino's."
Marilyn drives past the turn. "Uh-uh. They support those right-to-lifer gun fanatics."
"McDonald's?"
