Book Title: The Widowmaker 1200 Short Story
Chapter Two: The Six-Month Freeze & The Sweet Smell of Freedom
Bruce is immediately hired by the perpetually sticky Mr. Henderson, who introduces him to the job's main enemy: the "Concrete Scoop," the physically demanding act of scooping frozen, hard ice cream flavors. Despite the "shame" of the teal polo, the paper hat, and the pervasive smell of vanilla, Bruce views every painful scoop as a deposit toward his dream bike, the Widowmaker 1200.
Over the next six months, Bruce endures the monotonous routine and the eccentric customers, viewing the work as "character-building" and "grit." He develops extreme fiscal discipline, saving every paycheck, duct-taping his worn shoes instead of buying new ones, and even walking to work to save on gas. His parents watch with a mix of pride and horror at his newfound minimalist genius.
Finally, after half a year of hard work, Bruce hits his goal, earning $3,000.17. He excitedly shares the news with his parents. His father, Patrick, is overcome with paternal pride, declaring Bruce has "earned his freedom." His mother, Jill, immediately shifts from fear to action, planning safety gear. The chapter concludes as Bruce and his father head out to the dealership to buy a sensible, pre-owned Japanese bike, with Bruce ready to "trade in the scoop for the throttle."
