The Expendable Man


         He waited for some time. He would have quit the place but he hadn't eaten since noon. If he were going through to Phoenix tonight he'd have to eat something now. Between here and Phoenix, there wouldn't be much opportunity. Therefore he waited, refusing to be driven away by the vulgar young people or the disinclined help.
