1:20:02
The dirt came up over the tops
of my shoes and weighed me down.
1:20:06
I wanted to stop and empty my shoes out
but he wouldn't stop.
1:20:10
He kept walkir straight ahead.
1:20:14
I was afraid of losir him in the dark,
so I just kept up as best I could.
1:20:23
And we were completely silent
the whole time.
1:20:27
We never said a word to each other.
1:20:30
We could barely see a foot in front of us
1:20:32
and these white owls kept swooping down
out of nowhere, hunting forjack rabbits,
1:20:37
diving right past our heads
and disappearing.
1:20:40
We just kept walkir silent like that
for miles until we got to town.
1:20:49
I remember seeir the old man in
the liquor store as he paid for the bottle.
1:21:07
Then he came out with the bottle
wrapped in a brown paper sack.
1:21:12
What are you doir?
Attacking me or something?
1:21:15
He opened the bottle up
and offered it to me.
1:21:19
Before he even took a drink,
he offered it to me first.
1:21:23
I took it and drank it
and handed it back to him.
1:21:26
We just kept passing it back and forth
like that till we drank the whole thing dry.
1:21:33
Finally we reached this little white house
with a red awning on the far side of town.
1:21:45
We walked right up to the front porch
and he rang the bell.
