MY ATTENTION CAME BACK to the present day.

The psychiatrist was still writing notes.

Maybe he would prescribe me sedatives or medication like the other doctors had or maybe more counseling and another CAT scan. It didn't matter. No matter what they prescribed it didn't work.

She was still there. Just a few feet above me all the time, hovering, her eyes still fixed in a zombie-like stare, and her hand moving quickly back and forth.

I wondered what this portrait would look like. I imagined it and saw my face, pale and gaunt, eyes heavy and dark, lips thin and dry from too many mixes of the wrong drug. I bet it was good, but the next one, her last, would be even better.

I thought through the plan I’d act out tonight. I knew exactly where my father kept his gun and how to use it. Yes, I thought, it was the only prescription that I knew would work and it would give Cypress her best and final portrait.
