The bottle was empty.<br />

With a deep sigh, he rolled over, landing heavily on the floor of the apartment. It was a<br />

dump, but it was exactly what he deserved. The stabbing pain of a killer hangover in the making<br />

pressed hard at his temples and his vision swam in the overly-bright light which sneaked through<br />

his Venetian blinds.<br />

How long ago had it been?<br />

He looked at his right arm, finally freed from the cast and the bindings which had held it for<br />

so long. It was still red and puffy along most of its length. Starting at the elbow, it still looked<br />

more like ground beef than skin. He’d even lost his last two fingers, but it wasn’t enough.<br />

It wasn’t nearly enough.<br />

On his way to the fridge, he pressed the empty bottle down on the play button of the<br />

answering machine. The thing chimed up in its neutral voice, telling him of the dozens of<br />

messages he’d missed in his drinking binge.<br />

Message one.<br />

“Bobby? Are you there? It’s Mom. I’m worried sick about you. Why isn’t he picking up,<br />

Herb? Look, we know it’s been rough this last month…” No shit? “but this isn’t healthy. We<br />

really want to hear from you.”<br />

He heaved the empty liquor bottle into the garbage. It landed with a quite satisfactory shatter<br />

of glass smashing into glass.<br />

Robert wiped his sleep-encrusted eyes with his left hand. He was doing nearly everything<br />

with his left hand these days, with his right permanently useless. He glanced at the back of the<br />

fridge. Glory hallelujah, he’d actually left himself some food. He grabbed a half-eaten sandwich<br />

with his only good hand and undid the plastic wrap around it.<br />

Message two.<br />

“Hey, Rob, me and the boys were thinkin’ about goin’ out on the town, just wondering if you<br />

felt like tagging along, just like the good old days. Well, if nothin’ else, it’ll get your mind off<br />

that accident. Hit me back.”<br />

There was something which just about killed his appetite. The accident. Of course, they had<br />

to bring up the God-damned accident. How could something so cruel and brutal to happen to<br />

somebody so good and pure?<br />

Message three.
