Part Nine - Caution: Do Not Take With Alcohol

Can’t eat. Can’t sleep. Great, I’m starting to sound like a country song. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. I hate Britney. Why couldn’t she have lied to me like everyone else? Now I know why I’m so eager to forget.

How much Blue Dragon can I do before I pass out, twitching helplessly on the floor? I’ve raided my whole house and pulled as much shit as possible that’ll make me pass out… or worse.

Dish soap… nah.
Clorox… can’t stand the smell.
Drain-O… better for huffing.
Actifed… that’s a joke.
Codone… maybe.
Nyquil… maybe with the codone.
Dog food…

I grab the bottle of pain killers and Nyquil. I take about four pills and drink half the bottle. This crap better work fast.

I close my eyes and fade in and out of consciousness until my ears start ringing. Or is that my phone? I sit up… I’m on the kitchen floor. What the…? I take a swig of the Nyquil and lurch towards the phone. My head pounds, my muscles weak. I pick up the phone, still not sure if it’s my ears ringing or not.

Chris.
What?
You’re still alive?
Sorta.
Can I come over?
There’s not peanuts here.
Chris…?
Brit…? Justin…? Who…?
Britney.
You sound different.
I’m outside.
Go away.
Chris…
Bye.

That was odd. I continue to fade in and out. Each time I wake up, I take another pill and find myself in a new location. Damn. Out of Nyquil. I’m in… the… bathroom. Yes, bathroom. That’s a toilet. I think. I manage to stand and head into the kitchen. Pull out a beer. Fuck. Out of codone now.

Back to bathroom. Search around… Lortab.

May cause drowsiness. Alcohol may intensify this effect. Use care when… blah blah blah. Caution: Do not take with alcohol or nonprescription drugs without consulting your doctor.

Do not take with alcohol. May cause drowsiness. Alcohol may intensify this effect. Whiskey… That’s liquior.
