digits to move. With enough meditative oomph, I finally complete the Jedi mind trick. My hand makes a swatting motion, and I hear a sloppy, smacking sound that says I’ve made contact. Milton rolls off the bed like a log, more because he’s drunk than because of any real muscle on my part. I am finally left alone, permitted to curl back up with my drunkenness, hugging my own torso like a lover. From here on out, when anyone asks what happened, I’ll say he’s a brute, and he’ll say I’m a prude. For a few minutes in the early morning, I’ll wake up prema-turely and see Milton still sleeping on the floor where he fell, with the faded blue comforter wrapped around him like a torn fishing net. Sunlight will finger the room, and the bureau will be cluttered with cigarette butts and cigarette butt–filled bottles, and the carpet will hold the long, brown stain from somebody’s rum and Coke. My lips will feel achy and swollen, and the

sealed air will smell as musty as death.

I will decide I want to check out of all of this, maybe even for good.
