Fading Memory

 

 

 

#FlashTag @monologging @ “Pour me something so I won’t remember,” I asked the bartender.

#FlashTag @monologging @ The bartender obliged, blending a cloudy cocktail, wreaking of alcohol. “Sip,” he cautioned. I downed it.

#FlashTag@ The drink caught in my throat. My eyes burned & bulged. I felt my body drop. Then I blacked out.

#FlashTag @monologging @ I came to on the roof-top. The city lights were pulsing through the blur of my vision. I tasted vomit.

A woman was seated primly on an ac unit. “Glad you’re awake. You should be dead.”

  Still alive: Bad luck. How’d she find me? “Where is it?”  “In my pants!” “What pants?” Down below, shit got worse.
