I had stopped in a small dilapidated bar somewhere in Oklahoma to stretch my legs and get a little refreshment.
"What, Bud Dry or something? Sure, I'll bite."
It was dark brown and had a dusty smell. As I drank it a dry, hot wind seemed to blow through my clothes and abrade my skin. A feeling of despair came over me. A few teardrops fell from my eyes, but they evaporated instantly. I had to clear my throat a few times before I could say:
"Not bad. I'll have another."
