THE STORY: In THE WHIZ BANG CAFE, the setting is a truck stop in Throckmorton, Texas, a dusty little town on the edge of nowhere. Mary Nita, the long-suffering owner-cook-waitress has become resigned to the oddball regulars who frequent her cafe, including a house painter turned evangelist and a dozing truck driver, but she perks up at the arrival of Walter and Ann Simmons, an out-of-town couple heading west on vacation. Small towns being what they are, there are no secrets for long, including Walter’s long cherished desire to hit the road in a two-ton semi—a lifelong wish which is at last gratified in a most unusual and hilarious manner.
Included in the collection Throckmorton, TX. 76083.
