Dead Tracks 29

version x1

ARRIVAL

We got there about ten, well tanked-up and dying to see the strippers and see what Gengey was going to be forced into.

ENTRANCE

When we got there there were stewards and doormen and girls like 'hosts' who were fucking lovely. We all had our 'do' shirts on so they knew what we were looking for, and they played up to it. We all had enough beer to think we were going to get some that night, I tell you.

We ran downstairs, whooping loudly.

CLASS

We got to the main room but found it was all chairs in rows - with our names on them. What the fuck? Where is the beer and the girls?

We stood about, then took to the seats as the names dictated.

The lights went down and a guy took to the stage at the front. And he lectured us. About what it means to be a man. And what that means to those who rely on us.

EXIT

The lights go down. Then back up. The doors open and we leave in silence.
