for the next week—and don’t worry, this thing between you and me, this torch I’ve carried, it’s snuffed.”
SLAM!
“Whatever, Mitch. I don’t need you or your dick!”
Overrun by cottonmouth, Zoey took a drink of tea. She set her cup down, inhaled and exhaled and sauntered to the sofa facing the entrance. “Your loss.” Horny and high, she plopped on the cushion. Her head hit the pillow. She didn’t remember falling asleep, yet when she opened her eyes, moonlight shone through the window.
Ayúdeme.
“What?” She scanned the empty rooms and motionless shadows.
Help me.
Zoey panicked. She plugged her ears and rushed upstairs to the bedroom, uncapped her meds and popped a few pills. “I dreamed something I don’t remember. Another dream echo.”
Help me.
Distant but close, it didn’t make sense. Her pulse raced fast and strong, karate chops inside her neck. “It’s only a dream,” she told herself and set her hand on her pounding chest. “Too many pills and not enough sleep.”
Help me, lady.
The voice was in the walls, ceilings, and floors.
Dear God, send me aid. You are it, lady.
“I’m not crazy!” She ripped off her robe and put on jeans and a black T-shirt. She stuck her feet in shoes and in the process bumped her shoulder. It pulsed with her heart.
Indistinct whispers infested her brain and she couldn’t shake them.
“Shhh….”
She ran downstairs and grabbed her keys and purse. “I’m not losing my mind.”
You must help.
“It’s the drugs. Has to be.” Zoey ran past the table and out the door leading to the garage.
Beasts attacked her legs. She kicked and blinked and wrestled with deer heads.
Do or die.
Zoey jumped in her BMW. She started the engine and hit the remote for the garage door, clutched the steering wheel and blasted the radio.
Do or die.
Above, below, within, she couldn’t tell where the nonexistent voice came from.
Do or die.
Zoey wiped a tear. Her tires spit gravel, and headlights whitewashed the reddish snaky road as she sped to Anywhere Far Away.
