Revlieved And Lucky

Relieved and Lucky

A sip of whiskey,

A shot of rum,

The strike of a match,

The puff of a new cigarette

 

He cuts the pill

He snorts its “glory”

He tries to cover it with a sob story.

He has become jittery and racist,

I become frightened,

 

We are going to his home

Mother drops us off

He is taking me to my friend’s party on his can-am

She leaves we are alone

We go into his home

Do you want some soda he ask

No I reply.

 

He lets in his dogs

Big teddy bears

I befriend his dog to protect me if he comes near

I try my best to hide my fear

 

The party started 30 minutes ago

I’m feeling tense

He sits on there on the couch

And says there are a few bills to pay

There are a million there.

 

Minutes tick by

I think something is up

One hour later

He is ready to leave

I am reassured I will be okay

 

He starts his bike

The way he walk and moves around frightens me to death

We get on the highway

 

Finally we get to the party

My body aches with pain

My heart is pounding

 I have never felt so relieved and lucky.

The anticipation, the fear....how awesome! Whoops, sorry, should be more formal. Any ways I love it so much! It's great, real great, I can really put myself in the girl's (is it a girl?) shoes! Wonderfully written with wonderful details. Fabulous work!
