Sunburn
“I stood blinking in the cold morning sun with a headache and a mouth that tasted like cheese.
I’d spent the night before in semisleep, cradled around my third and fourth liters of tinto. How much time had elapsed since I’d found Sean?

The night before, I’d gone to the market and bought some snails in tomato sauce, a wedge of Camembert, or so it was called, and a loaf of bread, along with the aforemention...ed tinto, and had come back to the tiny, airless room I’d rented just back from the ramblas. On one of my several trips to the bathroom, I was stopped by a skinny, dark youth wearing a pair of bright orange bikini shorts. He asked me if he could have some of my wine, or maybe come to my room and share it. I declined. Later I heard some scuffling outside my door, but didn’t get up to examine it.
There was one window in the hall leading to the john, and through it, I noticed that somehow it had gotten light.MoreLess
