The narrator is a day laborer working for an outfit called Labor Core and assigned on this day to move furniture. His companion's a guy who's saved himself by getting religion. What makes this story soar is the small details of their day in Rochester: the weather, the food, their fellow workers; the job itself--every detail is perfect in leading up to the conclusion. The mood here is superb. Our narrator is struggling to pull his life together, struggling to earn enough to get through another day, struggling with his anger, struggling over issues with his wife. Just a great little story.
