I knocked.  “Who is it?” He said from behind the closed door.

There was a moment of panic.   He was dead.

I tore the place apart. I emptied drawers, tore out sofa stuffing,

I felt like I’ve never felt. The possibilities were endless.

I’ve always been productive and focused.

But I managed to work hard and have little to show for it.

Things were different now. It was like I grew up over night. 

It was a deal I couldn’t pass up. And out of nowhere there’s a dead body.

This shit just keeps happening to me.

Messages were everywhere. All but one from a guy named Bukowski.

 I thought a minute. I’d heard the name.

I didn’t mean for this to happen. I had put others in danger.

Don’t hang up, I said. I’ll talk you through it.

I seriously considered suicide.

My head was a fog. My vision blurred.

What were the chances?

Somewhere in the distance

A dog barked
