Shouldn’t’ve been reading these articles. Should’ve gone to sleep. Too late now.
I checked the light under the door to make sure Mom had gone to sleep and then snuck over to the bathroom.
I changed the Band-Aid, looking carefully at the old one. There was blood.
Not a lot, but blood. Faintly pink. It isn’t infected. It bleeds because it hasn’t scabbed over.
But it could be. It isn’t. Are you sure? Did you even clean it this morning?
Probably. I always clean it. Are you sure? Oh, for fuck’s sake.
I washed my hands, put on a new Band-Aid, but now I was being pulled all the way down.

I took a gulp, then another. Felt dizzy. You can’t do this.
This shit’s pure alcohol. It’ll make you sick. Better do it again.
Poured some more of it on my tongue. That’s enough. You’ll be clean after this.
Just get one last swallow down. I did. Heard my gut rumbling. Stomach hurt.
