It was 1:45 AM

I got out of work and in my car

I drove like hell to the gas station down the street

they sold beer

It was 1:54 AM

I dropped 3 six packs of beer on the counter.

"so, sorry, can't sell you alcohol"

"why not!" I opened up my phone and showed her the time " 1:55 AM

"no, it's after 2 AM"

"no its 1:55 AM, I still have 5 minutes to buy, look at the clock"

I pointed to the wall, it read 1:55 AM

"NO!"

"YOU CUNT! IT'S NO WONDER YOU WORK AT A GAS SATION IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE NIGHT, YOU'RE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO DO ANYTHING ELSE!"

I left without my beer and drove home in silence

there was fog on the road

I didn't see any other cars.

Inside I took a hot shower and got into my shorts and vintage Fleetwood Mac shirt

I had half a bottle of wine I bought a month ago

I forgot to throw it away

It was shit wine then, and it was shit wine now mixed with soda water

I turned out all the lights except the light on my dresser

I put on that song "Please Don't Stay, Once You Go Away"

It had been a week, and I finally

starting crying like a little bitch.
