Lucky Bastard (2014)
Lucky Bastard
“A male voice. Angry. Shouting. Noise.“Sir, you are going to have to come with me.” Something clattered. The smell. Oh God, the smell. Hospital. My eyes fluttered open as my heart galloped. Bright lights. Squinting, I struggled to move, but a weight held me down. Panic. Why couldn’t I move? “Sir, you are not making this any easier.”My thoughts tumbled as memories flooded. The storm drains. Water. A baby. I focused on the source of the sound. I could just make out shadows and forms. Where was I?“I. AM. NOT. LEAVING. LUCKY.” Carl. He had been in the drains. Blinking furiously, I felt like I was looking through a pair of binoculars as I thumbed the focus wheel. Hazy at first, slowly my world took shape. Bright lights. Too bright. And that smell, ammonia…and death. I squinted against the light. Two men dressed in purple scrubs held on to Carl. His shoulders bunched, his hands tight hammers of flesh, he shook them off as easily as a bear would a couple of dogs. They lunged for him again.My ...mind formed the words, but I couldn’t find the breath to give them sound.MoreLess
