About this ebook
Preteen, young teen, all must come of age. How exactly might that happen in America? For my friends and I during the early 1970's, it was like this. Unusual? Not really. Unforgettable? not for us! How would the stigmas and pressures of the day shape and form us? Only hindsight and reading this short story will answer that question. Blundering indecision combined with tragic consequences ruling every interaction? Not so much. Smart kids making good choices? Oh please, get real! The truth lies between those extremes and is captured in this delightful story. If you need to be shocked and horrified, this is not the story for you. If you would like a small dose of uplifting entertainment that doesn't preach or judge, download and enjoy this story. What have you got to loose besides a small fraction of your time? You may go away with a smile on your face. No harm in that, right?

Air Force veteran. Fleet manager for a contracting company.I Have built and/or restored several vintage racing and collector cars over the years. I Won a racing championship in 2010. I am an avid reader of mostly history, science and science fiction. I tend to find the topics of magic and time travel intellectually vacant, vacuous and tedious but don't let that discourage you if that sort of thing is your interest, it's my problem, not yours! I'm a hopeless romantic but I tend to shy away from that theme as well. (Too personal.) What little I do write regarding sexuality is usally from an unapologetic hetero-sexual viewpoint because of my comfort of that concept and I admit that I can sound somewhat near the verge of misogynistic, and I do apologize for that, but I certainly won't condemn, criticize or denounce anyone's differing views. Live and let live in freedom and peace is my viewpoint and I will fight like hell for other's rights in that regard if i have to, but, I insist on being able to exercise my own thoughts and opinions so please don't take it personally. Go ahead and hate me if you must but not the free-speech forum or the intellectual freedom that I exercise and love. I really just want to have a fun and pleasant life on this earth and I hope others also want that and I try to treat everyone well with that in mind.

Everything contained in this story is 100% true. Everything in this story is also complete bullshit. What is important here is the fact that bullshit can also be true. All names, places, events, dates, times, circumstances, products and anything and everything presented here is complete bullshit.
Fall, 1973, an ordinary eleven-year-old boy, (me) in rural Washington State starts his fifth-grade school day much the same as any other, but unknown to me at the time, today would be the start of a chain of events that would change nearly everything. This day is the start of a school fund raising magazine subscription drive, and that was where it all started.
The flyers were passed out, the needs and the benefits were explained, the prizes were highlighted, and the rules were precisely covered.
The top prize was a ten-speed racing bicycle, featured front and center on the flyer in all of its glossy, full-color printed glory, and I couldn’t have cared less. I already had a bicycle. No, what interested me was the car magazines, available at deeply discounted prices.
I was already buying Hot Rod, Car Craft, Rod and Custom and Street Rodder regularly with my allowance, and here was an opportunity to have them sent right to my house for a fraction of the cover price. Within a week, I had my Mom cover my allowance with a check and those four titles as well as Popular Mechanics were on the way. Also, my Dad opted for Sailing Magazine and Popular Science and Mom signed up for Modern Sewing and Good Housekeeping. Several friends, neighbors and some of my Dad’s coworkers also placed orders and by the time the fund raiser had ended, I had earned a choice of several of the lesser prizes.
My meager sales results allowed only choices at the bottom of the range of prizes, such as logoed ball caps, tote bags, a football or basketball and a few other insufficient trivial items, but way down at the bottom of the page were two choices of record albums- The Best of Bread and, this can’t be right, Alice Cooper’s Muscle of Love.
I had recently discovered album orientated rock music on the FM dial of my clock radio and one song that captured my imagination was a number that broke all the rules so completely that I wouldn’t dare let my parents even catch me listening to such a blatant, sinful composition. That song was School’s Out,
by Alice Cooper.
Was that song on this album? Was the music on this album more of the same? Was the fact that this album is here a mistake, or a trap, or a joke?
I checked the box for Alice Cooper’s Muscle
