SUBURBAN LEGENDZ: The Car Wash

 

 

Hell yeah, I got this!

So, my cousin and I were supposed to help our uncle in the city during the summer. We were planning to save up and maybe go on a road trip. But then my cousin got cold feet and said he didn’t want to do it. If you ask me, I think he’s just scared of all the tall buildings. Regardless, I came alone and my uncle was disappointed he wouldn’t have two capable bodies. His solution to that was to make me able to do the work of two people. I didn't know what he meant at the time but the next morning when I woke up, I was huge. I had pecs and abs that looked like they were born for the gym, not the meager attempts I had before. One glimpse in the mirror and it wasn't my face but someone resembling my dad.

My Uncle swore not to tell my dad, his older brother. This was just a temporary measure for the summer since he hadn't planned to be understaffed. Turns out, I didn’t get much training from him as it was all in my body’s head, already knowing what the procedure was to clean the cars.

They came in and out as I could move quickly with my longer limbs. In fact, my uncle was even slowing me down, so I had to ask him to get out of my way. I think he was flabbergasted, huh look at that, I know what ‘flabbergasted’ means! But seriously his face was sort of comical as I continued without him. He stuck around for a bit, then stopped watching.

 

I have to admit playing around with some of the tools when no one was looking was fun though. The city summers were kind of brutal, no trees shifting in the wind to carry a breeze. No wonder there were so many grumps at the car wash. I had to take my borrowed shirt off to avoid overheating. ‘

People were a lot less grumpy when they left the car wash. We had some return customers asking me to take my shirt off at the start of my shift. A lot of people seemed more satisfied leaving the less I had on.

After a month, I was mostly down to my underwear, as requested by the people. I was compelled because I was a man of good customer service. To be honest, my body and I loved showing it all off. There was no way I was going back to the suburbs after this summer.
