Kismet
“Again.
Mom put her foot down with the drugs. She refuses to refill my pill prescription so I’m on my own in that respect. She offered up melatonin and cherry juice instead. I obliged, but it hasn’t quite had the same effect. The silence is deafening tonight and I need to find a way to shut off the thoughts.
Reaching the end of my rope, I swing my feet off the bed and drop them to the cool hardwood floor. Quietly pulling on some shorts that I retrieve from my dresser, I make my way out into the ...hallway and down the stairs to the kitchen, hoping that my parents still hide their liquor in the same spot that Tommy and Parker showed me when I was in high school.
In a move reminiscent of my teenage years, I look over my shoulder before pulling the cabinet door open, relieved to see that it’s just as well stocked as it had been then. I grab a nearly full bottle of Pop’s Crown Royal and slip my feet into some flip flops that I’d left by the door. I consider throwing on a sweatshirt but decide that the fresh summer night air will do me some good.MoreLess
