A Fishing Sunset

After the events of the last two weeks the young man sitting in the folding chair deserved the chance to get away after he lost his job, lost his girlfriend, had to file for bankruptcy, and nearly lost his truck if it wasn't for his father. Right now fishing on the camp site and drinking a beer is the closest thing he will ever get to living a rich life but to him this was as rich as a man could get. Out here you didn't have anyone telling you that your holding up production so get moving faster, you don't have any girl saying that the friends you have with you right now embarrass her, you don't have bills piling up while your gone, and you don't have a loan agent telling you that they are going to take your truck away. No it's just himself, friends, beer fishing poles and beautiful sun all day long, the relaxation is a nice thing to have after the stress he's been through, just then his good friend was walking over to him while he counting his blessings. "Hey Jimmy you having any luck there?" Jimmy looked up to his friend and said "Well I'm having just about the same kind of luck as you are Bobby." The other young man laughed and said "Yeah I know better I saw all the fish you pulled in today, but guess what I just called my Dad up at the store and he said you have a job when we get back." Jimmy looked at his friend and it felt like another fifty pounds came off his shoulders, "Bobby I don't know how to thank you for putting a good word in for me though it's your Dad and he's always liked me." Bobby threw a line in the water and started reeling it back in "Well not to worry about that right now let's get ready for the cat fish." Jimmy looked up to the horizon the sky was fire red through the trees it was going to be a beautiful night and he wasn't worrying about a thing.
