Out in the distance, across that field, is the new landfill they're digging. Once they're done I reckon they'll just haul that rusty old drum over there. They'll probably haul that old shed over there too.

That's Lucy. She's got herself a soda pop, a fishing pole, a box of worms, and some sunshine. I reckon that's about all a body needs to be happy. Now kids, just because Lucy smokes does not mean you should. Lucy is not a role model.

That's the old hotel down on Main Street. We don't get many tourists here in Big Stink these days. Since they built the new highway, folks don't even pass through any more. They just go right around.

That building used to have a friend but they knocked it down. We have a lot of lonesome buildings out here in Big Stink.

That old building is down the road in El Nacho. I'm not sure what the the letters are for. Someone told me that is something secret.

That's Buford. He's staying out back of Doc Parker's for awhile on account of his eye. Someone is going to eat Buford one of these days. It won't be me.

That's Evie's place. She lives up the road in Bartlett. Let me tell you, Evie is one sweet potato.
