what’s the quote in wolf in white van that’s like “the thing about him was that nothing made him tick, he just did that by himself. tick, tick, tick.” that one hit me hard

So much of West Texas gives off Wolf in White Van vibes I’m screaming at the top of my luNGS

but at that moment all i could see was the wolf in the white van, so alive, so strong. hidden from view, unnoticed, concealed. and i thought, maybe he’s real, this wolf, and he’s really out there in a white van somewhere, riding around. maybe he’s in the far back, pacing back and forth, the pads of his huge paws raw and cracking, his thick, sharp claws dully clicking against the raised rusty steel track ridges on the floor. maybe he’s sound asleep, or maybe he’s just pretending. and then the van stops somewhere, maybe, and somebody gets out and walks around the side to the back, and grabs hold of the handle and flings the doors open wide. maybe whoever’s kept him wears a mechanic’s jumpsuit and some sunglasses, and he hasn’t fed the great wolf for weeks, cruising the streets of the city at night, and the wolf’s crazy with hunger now; he can’t even think. maybe he’s not locked up in the back at all: he could be riding in the passenger seat, like a dog, just sitting and staring out the open window, looking around, checking everybody out. maybe he’s over in the other seat behind the steering wheel. maybe he’s driving.

btw!  i finished wolf in white van the other day.  i can't tell whether my life is over or whether my new reason for living is to reread it 1000x until every word of it is seared into my brain.  discuss
