The Goodbye Man
“After her life was taken, he laid next to her knowing she couldn’t be shaken. Death was his friend because it would never leave. He could love the dead ones, too.
“Niño, come!” she giggled, running through the shadowed alleyway. My legs ran as fast as they could, taking me closer to the girl that had my heart.
“Ophelia, wait! Wait!” I screamed to my cousin, older than me by two years.
We wandered the streets aimlessly after drinking a fifth of cheap vodka and snorting low-grade ...cocaine. Being high was always something I enjoyed, but flying on the edge of contentment with those hips before me was too much. Not to mention my true feelings for her.
