Collector

September 4, 1984. Louisiana, Crossroads county, Winn city. – Bro, this crazy week has drained me completely. What about taking a break for a couple of days? I have a buddy in Texas. Let's get over to his place! – Gas up, bro! But I'm not going dry, if you know what I mean. – You hurt me. There's a bar "Crossroads" nearby, and there are cool chicks hanging there! September 5, 1984. Mansfield, Washington County, Texas. – Stop! Look, this seems to be a decent bar! – Let's pop in there, take a couple of shots and move on. A couple of shots later. Waitress: – Greenhorns, based on your glance, not local dudes, right? Tourists? – Well, something like that, we decided to unwind over the weekend… – And what about hanging out and dying in a second-rate bar? Maybe, we should go to my friend's place? He's throwing a wicked party at his house! All local young people are already there, and I will get over once my shift is done. – It seems like an excellent idea! But we got a flat tire. – I've got a car. It's my Uncle Donny's. Quite the oldster, but it's still running, you'll definitely reach his place. I can rent it to you. Just go straight and you'll reach the house. An hour and a half later. – Listen, bro, I got a bad feeling. That waitress. Did you see her facial expression? – Yeah, did you notice too? It was delusional and frightened at the same time… Scary as hell… – Damn me! What the hell is this place, this house… The creeps all over my skin. For God's sake, let's get the hell out of here! – Mother of God! What's that? – What? – Did you see it? Out of the window... a guy with a bloodied ax… – Quiet! I see him! He's in the yard. What… Dude, what's he doing to her? He lifted her with one hand and threw her into the damn combine! – Time to run for it.
