I lie on the floor staring at the shattered ceramics. I would stay here all night, but the sickness from the half fifth I drank earlier has moved down into my belly, cramping my gut, while the room spins in my periphery. I push up from the floor, falling backward a few steps, and stumble toward the bathroom.

Everything moves slowly. Fluidly. As if I’m underwater, sinking deeper.

The urgency in my belly compels me to hurry, and I just make it before the fluids shoot up my throat into the toilet. Over and over, I heave and vomit, expelling the poisons of my misery, until I don’t have anything left in me.

I’m empty inside.

I rinse the sour taste in my mouth with mouthwash, and another wave of dizziness hits. Lying down on the floor fails to stop the spinning in my head. I clamp my eyes shut, weak hands cupping my face, and the silence pulls me under.
