Chapter Eleven

Another Dream

The tiny hole in the wall didn’t allow much light in, so I never really knew if it was day or night. The Sheriff, who was never shy about making his presence known, kept asking if I needed another country thumping. It was merely for his own amusement, as he didn’t stick around long enough for me to answer. Every now and then, he would enter the cell just to show his fist doubled up and wave it in the air or maybe throw his boot up on the cot to see me flinch a little. It was getting really old. The constant taunting and mind games had made me a nervous wreck. I was becoming someone who cowered away from a confrontation with the lone mouse vying for the last crumb of dried out cornbread.

I was lying there thinking about how my decision-making process needed some major overhauling. The events of the last year or so were proof enough. It was time for a change. Right about now, when all my muscles were seizing, and my blood was draining faster than my body could produce it, I was second guessing the decision to ever go to rehab.

“This place will eat your soul! Leave now before it’s too late!”

“In case you don’t know it, they sorta have me incarcerated. But why do you say this place will eat my soul?”

“You are the Alpha and Omega! It all begins and ends with you! Leave now!”

“Stop with the fucking riddles already, Confucius! Just give it to me straight.”

She was hovering in place, looking indifferent to my plea for honesty.

“You are not ready for the answers you seek! This is not the right time. Remember, timing is everything!”

“Yeah, I was just reminded of timing. So, you’re not gonna help me, then? This little one-sided discussion is for nothing? Either talk to me, and tell me the truth, or leave me the Hell alone!”

Her attention was drawn to the office in the front of the building, but it was as if she was looking into the past, and tears roamed freely down the side of her face.
