There was indeed silence now
Oh, and it's been but days
since the screams
cracked the windows
and the thrown bottles stripped
the walls of their paint
and the curses made the
gods cringe and cover their ears
The house of madness
no longer lived up to its name
For she was finally gone
and he was left
with the echoes
"C'mon, dare me to down it!" were
her words as she opened
the last bottle
And his were, "Bitch, you're mad!"
"Dare me, motherfucker! Dare me
to down this here bottle. You
don't think I can, do you? Ah, you
slime-gutted piece of
shit."
"I'm telling you to knock
it the fuck out already! I'll bury
yer fuckin' eyes in, see if
I won't."
But she was already
pouring down her throat. She
had this talent that
allowed her to drink without
swallowing. Pouring
down her throat was like pouring
down the sink. No choking
And then she'd hurl
the empty bottle with terrible aim
and break it against the
walls, planting shards all over the carpet
and then
finally
she'd be waiting in the
bedroom
But not today
Today she was no more
and all that was left of her were
the echoes of curses
The neighborhood was
probably celebrating
And her man
stood by the broken window,
a bottle of her favorite vodka
in one hand
and a fistful of painkillers in
the other
She no longer awaited him
in the bedroom
but underground
and he could already hear her
greeting words as he washed the
painkillers down with the vodka
"Took you long enough, asshole.
Now where's my goddamn
drink?"
The way you weave pain, anger, and madness together is remarkable. Of course she’s waiting for her drink. Who says death changes you?
Wonderful story! 🙂
