Chapter Text
It’s been a long day for Stanley Pines.
It’s been a long year for Stanley Pines, but the last week has been one of the worst.
Stan took a deep breath as he leaned into the cold brick wall behind him rubbing his jaw. He just got out of a run in with a few old ‘buddies’ that didn’t take kindly to his idea of a good time. Stan won fair and square.
‘How do you even cheat at pool?’ Stan laughed shrugging his shoulders.
They didn’t really like the tone in Stan’s voice and tried to knock it out of him.
It was a good thing that Stanley Pines was great in PE. He was gone before another hit was thrown at his direction tripping one of the other men on his way by.
He ran a hand through his hair.
“Gross,” he mumbled to himself as he felt the grease that covered his hair. He couldn’t remember the last time he took any kind of shower. He couldn’t even remember the last time he saw a proper shower. Gas station bathrooms can only get you so far. Some times the workers won’t even give him the keys to the bathroom. Stan didn't blame them, he looked as homeless as he was.
He sighed rubbing the hand on his jeans and wrapped his arms around his legs.
Stan had 2 dollars. Enough for a few gallons of gas. Enough to get out of this town and on to the next. He had a new idea to try out. Another million dollar idea to try out on some new bunch of suckers.
“Gonna get it this time,” he pushed himself up patting his legs. “Gotta get it this time.”
He started down the street to his car.
