Crash (2013)
“The sun was out, but it was way below freezing. Ozzie was happy to be tagging along, sniffing at every tree and post and peeing on everything he sniffed. I didn’t need to keep Oz on a leash. He was well trained. He was a good dog. And I wasn’t going to give him up.
I wasn’t dressed warmly enough, but I didn’t want to go back into the house to get gloves or a heavier coat. I cursed my cheating mother and my runaway father. I didn’t know who to blame most. I thought maybe my mom. She and stupid-a...ss Nick. Maybe that was really why my father had left.
I thought about my decision the night before to clean up my act. That lightning bolt from out of nowhere. Who was I kidding? Right now if someone were to offer me a drink or a toke, I’d gladly take them up on it. Forget about getting clean. Just stay stoned.
We were in the park now, and the voices inside my head were still screaming. This just couldn’t be happening to me. At first I thought the park was empty. The whole town was probably at home nursing hangovers.MoreLess
