Bastard Out Of Indiana
October 1959:
The couple had two choices, stay home and watch the premiere episode of the twilight zone, or find a country road and climb into the back seat of the automobile and writhe around in a clumsy semblance of passion. They chose the latter.
The girl was looking for an escape from a shitty homelife. The greased-crewcut sperm donor looked good to her.
In many ways that Twilight Zone episode would haunt them. In life, as in fiction, they were all searching for something that they would never find.
In the coming months the couple married (It was the only decent thing to do). The young girl watched her stomach swell as the father watched Hucklberry Hound on a flickering black and white TV. A monkey named Sam was launched 500 miles into the stratosphere.
