Cliffhanger
BARE HUNTER
When I got home, I tried to think of how the Thorazine had gotten into my system. Was Greg spiking my coffee at work? When my place was broken into the other night, did they change pills? No. I would have noticed a differently shaped pill. I couldn’t figure it out—until I opened the fridge and pulled out the new carton of OJ. It had been opened while I was in the hospital. I always screwed the tops on bottles and jars harder than they had to be. The top was just barely tightened. Someone had been spiking my OJ with Thorazine. Why? If they were after me and in my apartment, why not just poison me and get it over with?

SORRY- CHAPTER 23 The morning charge nurse entered the room to unplug the monitors and release me from the maze of wires and tubes. She handed me a post-operative instruction sheet with Dr. Carpenter’s phone number and address, reminding me I had a follow-up appointment with him in a week. She told me I could shower before leaving if I kept my catheter arm dry.

Greg had come by for a visit and was telling me about his relationship with Captain Howard, when he was interrupted by the charge nurse returning with the information I asked for, “Mr. Bronsky, sorry to interrupt your visit. There is no Dr. Porter on our staff in any position. Can you tell me why you asked?”

I needed to get closure from my ex after he broke up with me out of the blues after being together for 7 years so I got a hacker from CYBERPUNKERS . ORG to spy on him. It all went south when he relocated to Atlanta and we got into a long distance relationship which was frustrating for me. I was at the verge of dropping everything and moving to Atlanta when he started acting distant claiming he was busy with his new job. This went on for months and eventually communication became so poor. Once day we had a huge fight and he blasted out of know where that the relationship was over. I figured someone else must have distracted him so I got hold of CyberPunk Programmers to help me get closure from accessing his phone. I found a bunch of conversations with his new co workers even some where he denied being in a relationship with me even before we broke up. I also got hold of his Instagram and I saw him sharing endless reels with one of them. I have spied on him for months now but I don’t want to anymore since I’ve gotten the closure I needed.

I was not feeling comfortable with the Psychologist the hospital had sent to see me. I wanted him to leave, but I was in no position to make demands.

Sitting in a police cruiser in front of Sharon's house, I thought about our wonderful evening the night before. The sharing, the laughter, the hopefulness of it all. I should have stayed. I should have stayed. Why did I leave? I puked my OJ and cookies onto the floor of the cruiser, and my head began to swim. Not Sharon. Not Sharon. She didn’t deserve to be hurt by anyone. I prayed her ex-husband hadn’t found her after all these years. All I could do was tell them anything I could in hopes that the information I shared would help them find her husband, Lloyd. Why didn’t I stay last night? I should have stayed.

It was still early in the day after dropping Timmy off, so I called Sharon on a whim, hoping she wasn’t tied up. “Ted? Hi! All done with your kiddo already?” she asked.

CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.

I flopped onto the bed and repeated my sleep mantra, ‘Just following orders, just following orders, just following orders,’ until the meds mercifully let me drift off to my battleground of dreams. Wrapping the black turban’s tail closer to my face, I hid behind the rubble of a newly fallen landslide. It was a perfect position to watch the quiet, dusty village below. The 93-degree weather was drying out my eyes, as I tried to adjust the monocle for a close-up of the target’s house. Swiping my hand over them to clear the sand and dust, I caught a slight motion in the courtyard below.

Saturday in VA I found an impossible-to-find parking spot on Ohio Drive SW and hoofed it over the Arlington Memorial Bridge. Captain Howard was hard to miss, waiting for me in uniform. Since my time in the Corps, he had advanced a few grades. Now a 2-star general, he stood at ease near the Arlington National Cemetery Welcome Center. I suddenly felt naked or at least underdressed.

-Friday- Even the combination of Paroxetine and Zoloft couldn’t keep the night terrors at bay. I kept hearing rifle rounds, bang, bang, bang, one after the other, and seeing puffs of red mist in the distance: two taller ones and four closer to the ground. I woke up with tears running down my face. My throat was raw from screams in my sleep.

When I got home, I checked the invisible tape on the front and back doors before entering. No one had messed with my apartment while I was gone. The first time in days I didn’t need to overload meds to fall asleep. I chugged a liter of OJ, brushed my teeth, and passed out, exhausted from the day.
