TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | JAN 2019 29
Joey pulls the T-bar with his right hand and the tank spins to the right.
“Stop! That’s good. You see how the tank is facing Tybee in the middle of
the road?”
“Yup. Damn this thing spins fast.”
“It does everything fast. Now press your foot on the break and move the
selector to the ‘D’ position. Good. Take your foot off the brake and slowly
twist the throttle grips toward you.”
As the tank begins to move forward, Joey exudes the kind of happiness
Tony hasn’t seen since before the outbreak. “Oh my God!” Joey squeals.
“This is awesome! How fast can I go?”
Tony laughs. “Let’s take it slow and steady for now until you get the
hang of it. Don’t go more than 30 miles per hour. Oh… and Joey, DO NOT
slam on the breaks. This beast literally stops on a dime.”
“Okay. Wow. Can I run over a car?”
“You can be such a child. We COULD. But let’s make sure we keep our
tracks healthy on the tank. Try not to run over anything that could cause us
any undue maintenance.”
“Buzzkill!”
They make their way down the causeway from the Bull River Bridge
in the M1 Tank. Tony continues to instruct Joey the entire way, teaching
him about the gauges and driving techniques. It only takes about fifteen
minutes for them to get to the Lazaretto Creek Bridge. As they’re cresting
the bridge Tony yells, “STOP!” And Joey slams on the breaks. Tony’s body
lurches forward and his face slams into the M2 machine gun mounted on
the top of the turret. He is knocked unconscious, slides down inside the
turret, and slumps forward onto the tank commander’s sight.
