Kin
“As soon as he got back to Halifax, he headed for his apartment and took the stairs two at a time. He didn’t bother with a key; his roommate Scott never locked the door. Said it might interfere with women coming to visit.
As usual, the place looked like they’d been robbed. Whenever Scott was left to his own devices, the apartment took a turn for the worse.
David threw his bag onto the floor. Scott was asleep on the couch, or maybe he was in a coma. He stirred when the bag was dropped. “H...ey, you’re back.”
“I’m leaving again, so don’t get up.”
“Where ya goin’?”
“To get drunk.”
Scott leapt off the couch. “Hell yeah. Let’s go!”
The two buddies headed to the nearest bar. A lot of their friends were there and it was a grand drunken reunion to celebrate nothing. But often a drinker trying to forget something gets maudlin and feels everyone should know his sorrow.MoreLess
