Once Upon a Drunken Time

Awake in a daze, I think I’m still drunk. What the hell is happening? I gotta get outta this funk. Who is lying next to me? Thank God, my clothes are on. Where did the sunlight go? Oh…it’s only dawn. I thought I left the club, With my friends behind in tow. How did I end up alone With…I think his name, Joe? Ugh! What a ho! “Hey you need to leave” I say to this guy. “Uh…sure, yea… okay” He says in reply. Rap, Rap, Rap, I hear at the door. Crap, who is that? As I step onto the floor. “Go out my window!” I frantically say “What! Are you crazy?” “Just shut up, obey!” I force the sill open, Say a quick bye. He says, “Can I see you again?” I say, “No! Now goodbye!” A quick look in the mirror, Oh God, I’m a wreck. Head straight for the door, Open it onto the deck. “What a night, eh?” My neighbor declares. “Yea, what happened?” I say in a stare. “Actually,” I interrupt, “I don’t want to know. By the way, I need to go. I’ll see you later on this morn.”

It is always tough to write something embarrassing about yourself. It takes true strength. I like you more and more the more I read.

Monique, that is an experience hardly unique. On that morning, you must have felt like hell. The words you have used describe it very well.

Hell is mild to describe What I really felt inside. *Monique
