The life of Herb!

[phil88]

This one is unfinished but hopefully in rewriting it ill be able to come up with the correct wording for the ending.



"Herb had not been at work for over two weeks. Work was the shit-house they called a factory. In this shit-house, Herbs's job was to take the various type of soda's that came in cans, out, one by one, of the twenty-four packs they came in. Then he would put them, one by one, into four packs. These four packs were sent down the line and packed together with five others to make a twenty-four pack made up of six, four packs.

Herbs job was tedious, monotonous, repetitive and downright boring, but it gave him structure. A reason to enjoy his downtime. Without work, all of Herbs time would be downtime, and with Herb that was too much downtime.

It was the sixteenth day in a row that Herb had not been at work, that Herb decided to throw bacon across the room, into the frying pan on the stove. It was the sixteenth day in a row, that Herb had not been at work, that Herb, blew up his house.

It started just before noon, Herb rolled out of bed, and got himself a beer. Standing there in the kitchen, in his tighty whiteys and old, tattered bathrobe, beer in hand, Herb looked at the counter and sighed. On the counter was a fifteen pound slab of bacon, sitting beside a freshly cleaned slicer. These things were for him, this was his work for today. His wife had left him those gifts. He could hear his wife's voice now, shrill and filled with that tone of nagging. "Herb maybe sometime between your eighth and tenth beer you could find the time to slice up the bacon I brought home for us. The Sarsky's want their slicer back. Okay? Thanks honey!"

"Fuck the Sarsky's" Herb didn't care. The bacon "she" brought home? What was "she" thinking? Everything was his, he paid for it all, with years put in doing the same thing every day, in that shit-house. He's out of work for two weeks and the bitch gets all uppity.

Herb cursed and cracked open another beer. He started towards the den, and sat down in his recliner. He turned on the tv and slumped real deep into his chair."




thats all I have for now ill try to finish it by the end of the week.
