Heat Stroke (2010)
Heat Stroke
“I convulsively wanted to breathe but I had no lungs, and no body to hold them. Still, part of me knew what to do. I followed the breeze up, out, into the light.
I came out of the perfume vial, which lay on its side on a Chee•tos-dusted coffee table, right next to a much-creased and sticky edition of theSports Illustrated swimsuit issue. I ghosted up slowly. It felt like I was drugged stupid, unable to will myself to do anything but wait, drifting, for meaning.
Shit.This wasso not working out fo...r the best.
“Uhhhh—”
An uncertain human voice. Soft and hesitant as it was, it still echoed through me like a church bell. Something in me went completely still, waiting. I was focused like a predator waiting to pounce.
This felt nothing at all like what had happened between me and Lewis. Nothing at all. It was perfectly horrible.
“Anybody there?” the voice asked. He sounded scared shitless.Good. Welcome to the club, jerk.
“Yes,” I said—not that I meant to say anything, I just was compelled to respond.MoreLess
