Description:

The air smells wrong. It smells like that fake orange shite they toss on vomit, mixed with the Fourth of July. Your ears are ringing, like some giant concert just turned the volume from eleven to zero, but you don’t remember any music.

Old playing cards are in one hand and scattered on the table. There’s a blue bowl, painted with flying geese, which holds what might be a yeast product made to look like nuts. A trail of weak-smelling beer leads to a spilled cup in front of an empty chair. There are other people around the table, and each of them is looking around, taking in the room with wide eyes.

Everyone looks puzzled. You believe your hand sucks, but you don’t remember the game you are playing, you might have been bluffing, as the pot in the center of the table is rather large.

There’s the body. It’s laying on the floor. One hand’s got a death grip on a shotgun. He’s face down in a pool of dark red. There’s an open duffel bag near his other hand.

There’s you, holding a smoking pistol and facing the body and the door. Your leg hurts and your bloody pants look like a pit-bull got a hold of you at the thigh. You feel like you were about to say something, but, like everyone else, you seem at a loss for words.

You can’t even remember your own name.
