"It's just the pills, don't worry."
I don't think I can worry right now.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of you."
I already told him I'm not worried. Didn't I?
Everything fades, and . . . I'm okay with that.

I wake in the dark. It feels heavy and uncomfortable and . . . odd. Like the darkness is smothering. I can't breathe right even though my heart is racing. It takes several seconds to remember where I am.
My head's pounding. Did I get drunk? Dumb, dumb thing to do. I'm performing today!
But when I sit up and a blanket slides off me onto the floor, I realize it's still late at night. And I'm in Bob's house. Wait . . . why?
