Rock of Ages
“His balance was impaired by the beer in his right hand and the six he had already consumed.
He knew he needed to get things cleaned up. Maybe his mother would come over again, when his father was out. Old William made it sound like such a goddamn gift that he had this piece-of-crap house, with all the work it entailed.
This is my house, he’s going to tell the old man one of these days. I took it, and I can do what I damn well please with it. Don’t ever have to clean it again if I don’t want to....
He was supposed to meet some buddies at the Rack ’Em, drink and shoot some pool, maybe go over to Sally’s after, if they had any money. He slammed the front door and then almost fell on the steps, catching himself on the railing.
Good thing, he thought, you don’t have to drive standing up. He laughed and took another swig. He wished he’d had the foresight to bring another Bud for the road; this one was half-empty. But it was too much trouble to go back inside. Screw it. He’d stop at the Get ‘n’ Go and buy another one.MoreLess
