I was going on a trip in late summer with my Mom. She didnt want to go alone so I took a few days off work and went with her. it was a long drive so she decided to stop in the middle of it and stay over at an old friends house before continuing on the next day.
We pulled up around 7pm and drove up to a rundown trailer park. Her friend was waiting outside, half drunk and almost falling over himself.
"Is this really the place?" I asked almost shocked that she would be stopping in a place like this in the first place.
"Hes an old friend, and a really nice guy. I knew him back in high school." She said as she parked the car. They greeted each other and hugged. "This is Jerry, and this is my son" After introductions we unpacked for the night and had dinner. Afterwards we sat around the fire and had a few beers and talked a while. He seemed like kind of a slimeball, but I didnt want to ruin my trip so I drank and tried putting up with him. |
