Where am I? The heart quickens,
Sober
My head hurts… The world spins
Sober
Is that mine? Fingers twitch
Sober
Am I alive? The weight comes.
Sober
I need to move. Stillness
Sober
Please move. Stillness
Sober
Just one finger. A slight twitch
Sober
Okay, now the rest.
Sober
1, 2, 3, 4… A knock comes at the door.
Sober
“Oh, damn. Again?” In comes an old friend
Sober
… I’m. I-I can’t. “Just, stop. You can’t”
Sober
I’m awake. Go back to sleep.
Sober
I’m… I can… Go back to sleep.
Sober
I’m sorry. … Yeah, okay.
Sober
The weight prevails.
Sober
Please sleep well
Sober
Good morning, Love.
Sober
I love you when you’re…
