Big gas

The giant tanker, parked at an odd angle, seemed wounded in some way. At the tail end of the tanker, an equally large red wrecker stood, amber lights flashing.

Both monsters blocked many of the available pumps, only three were clear to use.

I made my way to one of the open pumps, next to the tanker.

I started pumping my gas while the wrecker guy attached heavy chains to the rear of the tanker. Looks like he's going to try and drag it out.

the tanker driver stood clear and watched.

After attaching the chains, the wrecker guy walked over to the diver of the tanker and asked if he was empty. The driver replied he was still half full.

I flashed back to the wrecker guy's chains sparking against the concrete.

Big explosions in the movies are mostly special effects, but a fire in any arena is no joke, and a hell of a way to go! I didn't want to make the news like that!

Even though I thought things were being handled in a safe manner, I hurried up and got the hell out of there!
