Backstory
This is a story about how fate, circumstances, whatever you wish to call it, can take a hand in your life and set off a course of events from which you will never again be the same.
Drusilla and Billy Rob a Bank
Her name was Drusilla, and his name was Billy. They were a couple, and they had been since they were kids. Now in their early 20s they were at a crossroads.
Drusilla had lived at home in an old white clapboard house on a small farm with her father, and oftentimes Billy. Her dad didn’t seem to mind. In fact he rather liked Billy which made Drusilla happy. She kept the house clean, cooked for her dad, and ran occasional errands as he needed. She didn’t work otherwise. Billy grew a small patch of weed out amongst the back forty and made a little cash money from time to time. Drusilla’s mother had died several years before, it seemed like she just stopped wanting to live, and Drusilla’s two sisters had married and moved away.
Dru, as most everyone called her, even Billy, except when they were riding a river of passion and got caught up in a steamy storm of sex. Then he called her Silla. Dru, at that moment, didn’t really care what he called her, as long as he didn’t quit. Her dad was about half deaf and she and Billy had gotten to where they made quite a bit of noise. Dad never complained.
But, her father had passed away recently, and her sisters, Danielle and Desdemona, had sold the farm. Her dad had always told neighbors he had three kids, Dani, Des, and Dru and let on like they were boys, which of course they weren’t, and the neighbors knew it. Anyway, Dru and Billy had to move. What’s more, her sisters had split the proceeds among themselves and told Dru that she had received her share by living there for free all those years. Billy suggested they get a lawyer and fight that decision, but lawyers cost money, and they had none.
Dru had grabbed a few things from the house before the bank changed the locks on the doors. Billy had harvested some seed from his patch, and together they had moved into a single wide at the trailer park outside of town.
Because Dru had never wanted to get pregnant, she was a fiend about contraception. In fact, she had developed an extensive set of non-vaginal sexual activities. This led Billy to suggest she get a job in the porn industry. Dru told Billy that she had developed those skills for his benefit and no one else’s. Billy thought about it for a moment and then said that he appreciated all her efforts.
Billy then suggested she get a job in the strip club down the road, as Dru had a very shapely figure, both her sisters had been skinny as bean poles, but she told him she didn’t want to work in a peep show. She suggested he get a job. He looked around and all he had was some seed, as his crop hadn’t been ready to harvest. “I don’t know how to do nothing,” he said.
Dru thought about it for a moment. Billy, in the past, had held a number of “security guard” type jobs, but they never lasted very long as he had an “attendance problem.”
“Didn’t you learn anything in those security guard jobs you had?” she asked.
He thought for a moment, Billy really didn’t like regular hours or being told what to do. “I learned a little about how security works. They had a course at the bank where they showed us how everything worked in the event of a robbery. How it’s all set up, that kind of thing.”
“Can’t you get a job in that?” she asked.
Billy thought about it for a moment. “I got a better idea,” he replied, “Lets rob a bank.”
