I Stopped to Fill My Car Up

I stopped to fill my car up – a short story inspired by the song of the same name, written and sang by Kelly Jones of the Stereophonics from the album Performance and Cocktails.
“I stopped to fill my car up the car felt good that day I didn't know
Where I was going but it felt good for a change
A five and a pocket full of silver I paid the lady no change and then
It started to piss down I started driving again
And then I looked up and looked in the mirror behind me
A man round forty in the backseat he must have stepped in when I was
Empty so why's he sat there just waiting likely to smash my face in
He had a bag full of money he said just drive me away I didn't know
Where I was going but it felt good to be strange
And still I looked up and looked in the mirror behind me
Curiosity is over stepped down from the car he pulled a gun from his
Jacket said I was going to die
It gives me so much satisfaction to watch you beg and cry well I just
Made up this story to get your attention makes me smile
I never looked up and looked in the mirror behind me”

This is not a A7X story, I've just based one of the characters on Brian Haner.
