Cliches: Of Mice and Men

George looked up from shoeing the horse to see the outline of Curley's wife in the doorway of the barn. They were alone.

"Well, arent you all dressed up and have nowhere to go" exclaimed George.

"You know Curley, he likes his girl nice and tidy, but I'm not all dolled up for him" Curley's wife explains as
she walks closer to George and places her tiny finger tips on his shoulders.

"Boy! People were right about you, you're as horny as a three balled tomcat"George snickers, smoking a cigarette.

"A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, Curley's always  busy as a bee with his work. He never has time for me!" she whines to George.

"Oh cheer up! It's not the end of the world, but you can't just be runnin' around like a chicken with it's head cut off" George said loudly.

"I'm so lonely! It's just me against the world and Curley's like a dog chasing cars, he's soo annoying." she cries turning to George to give him a kiss.

"Wow wow! Hold your horses lady! I know I'm a good lookin' guy and I'm not a huge fan of your husband, but I do have my limits. If you love Curley, you gotta put your heart in it. He's pulling your leg because he cares for you." yells George, backing away from Curley's wife.

"This is the thing, I don't like Curley, He's a pain in the butt, but you, you're

"He's giving you a hundred and ten percent, and you treat him like di..." as Curley's wife kisses George, Curley walks into the barn, looking for his wife.

"What in the world is going on in here?!??" Curley explodes angrily.

"Curley, it's not what you think it is, don't jump into conclusions yet, I didn't do nothin', your wife...." George got interrupted by Curley.

"It takes two to tango, I just can't believe you would do this to me again.. now you're gonna pay." Curley turns to his wife, grabs his gun, and shots her in the head before she could say anything. Curley then turns to George and shoots him in the head as well. He just looks at the silent bodies as he walks out of the barn.

"George?" Lennie whispers into the barn. Seeing the dead bodies of George and Curley's wife, Lennie's face turns horrified and thinks "George says 'something gone bad, go hide in the brush'." Lennie then runs out of the barn and starts heading to the brush where George tells him to hide if anything went wrong.
