“Come on!” growled Roger, banging the radio receiver furiously.
“It’s no use,” sighed Eddie from behind him. “It’s fucked, just like this camper!”
“I’m sure I saw something moving out there!” said Jess nervously. “Why’d we have to take this route back?”
Roger stared out at the darkness. “Mickey said it was a shortcut!”
“It is!” snapped Mickey from his seat next to Eddie. “Or would have been if this piece of crap hadn’t broken down!”
“We’re going to die here, I know it!” sobbed Jess. “On a road to nowhere!”
“Shut the fuck up the lot of you!” barked Roger as a faint and distant voice suddenly broke through the white noise of dead radio frequencies…
…And straight in at number one is Down by Gully Creek!…
The members of Gully Creek screamed ecstatically.
“At least we’ll be able to afford a decent tour bus now!” laughed Mickey.
