Sam woke up on Monday morning with a groan. Too much to drink, man, he told himself. His head felt fuzzy and he had a pounding headache. He stumbled into the shower, barely making note of the fact that Beth wasn’t in bed. She seldom was when he woke up and when he came to bed at night he was never able to wake her. She even moved away when he tried to get near her. To hell with her—she’s a terrible wife anyway. The warm water helped. It always did, but his head was still throbbing. He turned off the water, dried off, and poured a glass of water from the bathroom tap. He swallowed an 800 mg tablet of ibuprophen, knowing from experience that it usually worked. He was famished and barked into the phone for breakfast. By the time he was dressed, a table with his breakfast had been brought in. He loved all of this. It was exactly like living in a luxury hotel. Excellent food brought to your room, everyone at your beck and call.

Sam had always wanted to be President of the United States. From the time he was a little boy he thought this would be the absolute pinnacle. He would be top man and everyone would look up to him. Born to a wealthy family, he never had to think about money, it was never even spoken of. Beth told him after they were married that only rich people don’t talk about money. So there had been no desire there, no yearning to amass wealth. He could always buy anything he wanted and that even went for politics. It was easy. Just take the right people to dinner at expensive restaurants; just tell them what they want to hear. Money to campaign? No problem. Just tell his father he needed a bit more for this or that. Easy. Everything had always been easy.

Until lately. When he first walked into the Oval Office, he felt a thrill he’d never before experienced. When he first sat behind the desk, when all the staff treated him with what he interpreted as a sense of awe, certainly deference, he felt an inner thrill. This was it! This was what he’d always wanted. And it was as good as he had thought it would be. But lately his polling data was down and Capitol Hill seemed to be against him, even those of his own party. Everything he tried to do now became difficult, whereas it had always been easy before. And then there was Beth. She looked terrible, she had aged, and she treated him like he was her enemy. After all he had done for her. She’d had no money and came from the type of family he had always looked down on. He bought her everything she wanted and she seemed to love it, but now she acted like she hated him.

He knew he couldn’t keep up this amount of drinking at night, but it was the only thing that worked.
