I wanna live, I wanna love,
But it's a long hard road, out of hell.
You never said forever
Could ever hurt like this!

(Long Hard Road Out Of Hell)
The bullets rattled once more. An elderly woman, the proprietor of the diner under a terribly rotten, bleached and barely readable sign "Mustang Sally's" screamed, falling on the floor. Blood gushed, the woman howled, rolling in the floor, the dark-haired teenager in blue overalls darted to her - probably his mother - as she wailed, sticking his fingers between her hands to pull out a long piece of glass sticking from her face. And then - another scream, and another RATATAT! of lead over the diner's walls, now hitting old dirty cups, sending cutlery flying.
There were just a handful farmers here, owning no more than old, rusted guns and a few hoes they dragged with them by accident. The owner and her two sons. And just two well-armed drifters, one of which, all pale and sweaty, was not in the best shape. He rocked back and forth behind a turned over table, reeking of cheap alcohol, obviously hungover. "Ohgodohgodohgod..." he kept whispering, almost tearing his hair out at every sound from the outside.
"Just give us what we want..." A rough male voice was heard from the road. "...and nobody will get hurt!" This was an obvious lie, as right after that an obvious chuckle was hared, and another click of another trigger, and another clunk of another bullet. They didn't even tell what they wanted, this gang. They just yelled something about getting the kicks. Maybe they wanted to rob the diner. Maybe they got their kicks from killing people. But for now they had the upper hand. There was a handful of farmers in the diner, barely armed, and there was almost a dozen of them: armed, angry, dangerous. Odds were in the favor of an attack than defence.
"Oh, I think I'm going to be sick..." The pale man, like a chameleon, switched his colour from white to greenish, endangering a woman hiding besides him of getting to be the victim of his putrid act. Things were not good.
