The buzzer sounded signaling that the day shift was over at Consolidated Metal Works. Lanny looked at his watch as he loaded the last few barrels of trash into the dumpster on the loading dock. It had been another back breaking day at this dead end job that wasn’t going anywhere for him.
Even though he had finished two years of community college, there just wasn’t any other job he could find in this small mid west community. He was just glad it was finally Friday and he could pick up his paycheck at the accounting office.
Maybe he could talk his young wife Susan into going out for a few drinks at Rusty’s Western Club later that evening. It was about the only place in the little blue collar town to find good music and relaxation. Lanny knew that Susan didn’t like the rowdy crowd at Rusty’s, but what the hell else was there to do to have a little fun in the butt sex. He sure wished she would join in the fun drinking with his friends and listening to the western music.
23 year old Susan had led quite a sheltered life as a child. Ever since they had married five months ago and moved away from her family in Salt Lake City, things hadn’t been as bright for them as they had hoped.
Back home, she was accustomed to attending a large church and socializing with the family friends at church events. Here, she had not been able to meet girl friends that she could feel comfortable with. Most all of Lanny’s friends just wanted to drink beer and party and besides the way they looked at her gave her the creeps.
