Eleven

Charlie did what he’d been told, because conscious thought was beyond him, and when he got into his apartment, he locked the door behind him and then stood in the entryway, trying to remember what he was supposed to do.

Oh yes...bed.

Sunlight was streaming through the living room windows. It wasn’t time to sleep, but he was weary all the way to his bones, and so he went to the bedroom, stripped and showered, then fell into bed naked, with the water still drying on his skin.

There was no funeral to plan. Annie wanted to be cremated, and their social circle ended when Annie forgot her friends existed. He’d seen her out of this world, and now there was nothing left for him to do. When he finally closed his eyes, the image of Annie still struggling to breathe was in his head, and tears welled and rolled out from beneath his lids.

He fell asleep from exhaustion, then began dreaming that she was drowning, and woke up as she was going under. In anger, he rolled off the bed and strode into the kitchen, banging doors and looking on shelves until he found an unopened fifth of whiskey.

His hands were shaking as he opened it up, then sloshed some into a coffee cup and downed it.

“No more dreams. Do you hear me, God? No more fucking dreams!”

He carried the bottle back to the bedroom and set it down beside his bed, then turned on the TV and drank the bottle dry.
