I’VE HAD BEER, AND I’ve had Percocet, so I fall asleep in spite of the lumpy couch, my leg propped up on its back cushions, and my general paranoia. It occurs to me, before I drift off, that I really need to think a little more about some of the shit I do. You know, take a ruthless inventory or whatever.

I’m having some dream where there’s all these people sitting at a long table, including Reverend Jim from my churchgoing days, wearing his Hawaiian shirt, and he’s saying to me, “All of us are different aspects of God, and separateness is just an illusion,” and I’m thinking, Well, that’s easy for you to say.

Then there’s this honking, like a car horn that got stuck, and I’m really pissed off—it’s like, turn off your fucking horn, asshole.

And then I wake up and realize that it’s Boba making all the noise. I grab the flashlight I stashed under my pillow, ’cause I’m not totally stupid, flick it on, and there’s Han Rong with his hand in my backpack.

“What the fuck,” I manage.
