“I need you to know, whatever happens, wherever you go, you’re not gonna do it alone.”

                She meant well.  He knew she did.  He knew he should be grateful.  Grateful that she cared enough to want to stick with him through whatever hell his future held.  Grateful that she cared enough to be here with him now, when he was somewhere around four out of five sheets to the wind, his throat simultaneously raw and numb from the many, many glasses of alcohol he’d consumed in the short time he’d been at the bar.  He should feel a lot of things.  He should do a lot of things.  He should do a not of other ones.  The truth was, right now, he didn’t feel anything, and that was exactly how he wanted it.  “’m fine, Anna I don’t -- need you here, now, so -- just -- go -- shop or go -- do something not here.”  

     He didn’t want to feel.  He didn’t want to think.  If he started thinking, he wouldn’t stop.  If he started feeling, he might just murder someone.  ‘We regret to inform you --’ The words from Baltimore teased at the edges of his thoughts and he shoved them away by swallowing down the contents of his nearly full glass.
