The quote "the truck was full of dynamite, which any one of the many bullets
fired could have set off at any moment - and it was near enough to use to have
taken out shed clean away" highlights a moment of extreme tension and danger
in Adam Thorpe's "Tyres." The image of a truck laden with dynamite, positioned
close to a shed, immediately evokes a sense of impending disaster. The narrator's
realisation of this peril underscores the fragility of their situation and the
constant threat of violence that looms over their lives. This precarious
circumstance serves to intensify the overall atmosphere of fear and uncertainty
that permeates the story. Additionally, the juxtaposition of the truck's destructive
potential with the seemingly mundane act of firing bullets creates a stark
contrast, emphasising the absurdity and randomness of violence.
