Quote by Stephen King
Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston.
Summary
This quote describes the setting of Hapscomb's Texaco in the town called Arnette, which is a small and unremarkable place with only four streets. It emphasizes the insignificance and lack of importance of Arnette, positioning it as a distant and inconsequential location that is around 110 miles away from Houston. The term "pissant" adds a derogatory tone, suggesting that Arnette is not worthy of much attention or significance. Overall, this description conveys a sense of remoteness, unimportance, and detachment associated with the Texaco gas station and the town it resides in.
