You’re determined to get this over and done with so you can get back home and leave this fucking creepy place. You persevere on, ignoring the bugs, ignoring the snakes, and ignoring the cats. This single minded attitude that you usually save for sex and beer seems to also work well with work too! You’re finished a lot sooner than you expect. You’re covered in bites and grass and you still feel woozy, but you’re done. Even the cats aren’t staring at you anymore, and are engaging in usual feline behavior of sleeping, sitting and licking themselves.

You stagger back to the front door and ring the door bell again, the old lady answers.

“Ah yes! My kitties told me you did a good job! That backyard hasn’t been cut in years! Hehehehe! Here’s your pay. You come back in another twenty years to do it again! We’ll still be here! Hehehehehehe!” the old lady says and then slams the door.

You can’t believe she just gave you five hundred dollars though. You wish you could get excited, but you’re extremely exhausted. You barely make it to your trailer. Once there, you collapse on the bed. When Tina gets home she’s unusually frisky, but once again you’re unfortunately too tired. However, she’s really surprised to hear you say something that she never thought would come out of your mouth…

“Not tonight baby, I’m too tired from working.”
