CHAPTER 12

I PUT AWAY A PINT and a half of bourbon before I could get to sleep. The sheets were crisp and dry and the fear was far enough away in the alcohol, but whenever I closed my eyes Coretta was there, hunching over me and kissing my chest.

I was still young enough that I couldn’t imagine death really happening to someone I knew. Even in the war I expected to see friends again, though I knew they were dead.

The night carried on like that. I’d fall asleep for a few minutes only to wake up calling Coretta’s name or to answer her calling me. If I couldn’t fall back to sleep I’d reach for the bottle of whiskey next to the bed.
