Description
Over on the East Side, a story by Rachel Gunn is about a young woman, Tuesday, who over time becomes disgusted with men and society and its unrealistic expectations. She details her childhood, how she was confused with sexuality at the tender age of seven, describes her encounters with sailors as an adolescent and then explains her present day relationship with her new abusive boyfriend, Carl.
Upon learning that Carl frequents strip clubs on the East Side, Tuesday becomes obsessed. She can't stop thinking about Carl going into these places. She visually describes what she sees in her mind. It is as if she is there. In one respect she doesn't understand how women can objectify themselves, but in another respect she battles with her inner demons, because she finds it strangely arousing.
Finally, she can take it no longer. She asks Carl if she can see where he used to go. She thinks it will look different than what is in her mind, but she is sadly disappointed. She becomes hysterical, practically suicidal.
Eventually Carl succumbs to his buddies and goes over to the east side whereupon he cheats on Tuesday with a stripper.
Tuesday, having her heart broken continuously and abused by Carl eventually breaks. She becomes so delusional that she eventually murders the perverts who frequent the strip bar and bums the strip bar down.
