Jenny

Ms. Kraig as a youth

Jenny loved heavy metal music. She worked sixty hours a week flipping burgers just to make enough money to satisfy her addiction to the sounds of grinding guitars, pulsating drum beats and screaming vocals. Jenny dressed the part as well. With her spiked hair and a tee shirt with some band's name scrawled across the front of it, she was always ready for any head banging event. Jenny was hard at work one day listing to her favorite radio station when she heard the news that Slammer, her all time favorite band, was rejoining for a one night only reunion concert in town. Ecstatic over the news she just heard, she immediately ran to her boss and begged him to let her have the night off work so she could go to the show. Being an unusually busy Saturday night, her cruel boss had to refuse Jenny's request and screamed at her to get back to work. By this time, Jenny was in tears. She decided to ask her boss once again. She crawled across the greasy floor in the kitchen on her hands and knees and stopped at the feet of her slave driver boss. Jenny pleaded and pleaded with her boss but he still said no. As Jenny walked slowly back to the waiting hamburger grill, she looked out the window and noticed all of her friends piling into a car, obviously on their way to the concert. This angered Jenny even more. Enraged at her boss, Jenny went over and turned up the volume on the radio until the sound coming out of it was just a distorted mix of screaming verbalizations and wailing guitars. Jenny ripped off her greasy apron and began to dance around the kitchen in a crazed frenzy, banging her head and knocking pots and pans off the shelves. Her now furious boss burst into the kitchen and yelled at Jenny to turn down the radio and get back to her job. Almost unconsciously, Jenny picked up the red hot spatula from the grill and slapped her boss right in the face with it. Her boss fell to his knees in pain while clutching his face with his hands. Jenny picked him up and threw him across the kitchen on to the fiery, grease covered grill. Her boss let out a blood curdling scream and after a few minutes, fell over, dead. Triumphant Jenny ran out of the burger house just in time to meet up with her friends. She hopped inside of the car and tore out of the parking lot with her friends and headed toward the concert hall. She had to stop at a gas station first before the concert to wash her hands because they still had grease all over them.
