Other Notes
 We first meet our victim "caught in the middle of a railroad track." He begins to wonder, seeing as how he cannot escape his imminent doom, how he got there. His thoughts are somewhat impeded by the banging of drums and the shooting of guns.
Yet, he is able to recall that, earlier that evening, he visited a Texas strip club called Thunderstruck. He greatly enjoyed the attentions of their "dancers." So much so, that he asked them if he could take their new relationship to the next level. They seemed to be willing to comply-- "them ladies were too kind," he recalls.
Only now does he realize that what then seemed too good to be true... actually was. They somehow "blew [his] mind" and left him "shaking at the knees."
And now here he is, tried to some train tracks like a damsel in distress in an old silent film.
The dancers at Thunderstruck, he now realizes, are willing to dance, even to lap dance. But that's it. They greatly resent any attempt by their clientele to escalate matters by touching them or propositioning them-- so much so that they punish these over-steppers. How? By stunning them unconscious with loud noises (guns not being hard to come by in Texas), binding them (now, where'd they learn that?), and then letting the local train finish them off. Not exactly their expected happy ending.
