Lethe
After one friend told me I'd get pneumonia and the other two decided on hypothermia, I did it out of spite.

I don't know if it was the alcohol, the darkness or the rush to put my clothing back on that made me fall onto the cactus.
Before that night, I'd thought it was only in movies that people could dance in the rain and not care how wet they got.
Eating--alone--the warm brownie covered by cold vanilla ice cream and smothered with thick chocolate syrup sure beat finding the highway in the dark.
It wasn't until I sat up in bed the other night questioning our relationship that I noticed the light that was coming in through the blinds fell across my chest like a prison uniform.
It was the night that I learned to sniff before taking a swig.
I spent hours driving aimlessly that night, so I could feel free for a change.
