Tyson

Tyson was Mark's neighbor. In his early thirties, Tyson lived with his parents and got high and played video games all day. Elva warned her son he'd end up like Tyson if he didn't straighten up, but Mark thought he was pretty cool. At least he could drive and had his own car.

Mark walked up to Tyson, who was mowing his lawn. "Hey Tyson, what's up?"

Tyson looked up. "Oh hai Mark. Nice day today. Wanna hang out in my room and get fucked up?"

"Believe me Ty, wish I could. But today's the day I have to go to that shitty summer camp. Bet they don't even have wi-fi."

" Shit, that blows man. How about I give you a little going away present to make shit bearable up there?"

" Thanks for the offer, but honestly you could really help me out by giving me a ride."

Tyson look puzzled.

"It wouldn't be that long of a ride. Six hours round trip, assuming traffic isn't a huge bitch. And I'd pay for gas."

Tyson smiled. "Don't want to be stuck in a car with your mom? I understand dude."

"Hah, I wish she was taking me. No, she's making Mandy drive me. I can't be around that bitch for three minutes much less three hours. You gotta help me bro."

"Hah hah what a funny story Mark. But I promised my folks I'd look for a job today."

"Well maybe you could get a job up there. I'm sure they could use all the help they can get."

Tyson pondered it. "Well I suppose if I leave for awhile, they'll miss me and be happy when I come back."

"Yeah sure."
