The Cobra Event: Chapter Seven
Chapter 7: After the Death It was quiet inside the small white house with a couple of animals outside. There are three small bedrooms, but only two are occupied. There was no other house in sight. Without Lennie it didn’t feel right to have rabbits at the house. Nothing has been the same since the death of Lennie. George has been either working outside or sleeping. George and Candy have not talked much. If they do talk it is only about work. George and Candy stayed at the ranch until they got enough money to buy the house. The days at the ranch after Lennie left were rough. Curley was either at a bar drinking away or with a different girl each day. The boss got a new worker to replace Lennie. The new worker had a very bad attitude and was extremely rude. Luckily shortly after the new worker came Candy and George earned enough money to buy the house.
“Candy!” George yelled. “Can we head over to Susy’s?”
Lately George and Candy have been going over to Susy’s to drink away their pain and just forget about Lennie for a little bit.
“Again George?” asked Candy. “We were just there two days ago, and then we didn’t leave until we got kicked out at two in the morning!”
“I just need to forget about Lennie for a little bit.” Said George. “He’s all that I can think about and I just feel so guilty.”
When George and Lennie arrived at the Susy’s it was fairly empty. Only one other person was in the quiet and dark bar. There were plenty of stools around the corner at the bar, but George decided to choose the two in the corner. George slumped gloomily in the chair with Candy sitting down casually next to him. They ordered drink after drink quickly forgetting all their sorrows.
“Susy!” George called for the bar owner. “Can I have another drink?” He slurred.
“George, I think that is enough for you tonight.” Susy told him. George got very angry. He slammed his fist on the counter, then threw his chair down, and walked angrily out of the bar. George lumbered down
