EXCERPT
Excerpt
#1
I wake to the sound of a drill-saw
attempting to channel through a concrete pylon right next to my head.
“Why?” I grunt. Only it sounds more
like “uggghhh”, even to my ears. Apparently being woken by drill-saw seriously
impedes my ability to form words. I reach my hand out and slam something in
front of me, presumably the drill-saw, most likely a clock radio. Regardless,
the action makes the noise stop, thank hell.
Ugh. While the blast of noise has
stopped, there’s still a ringing in my head of dizzy-making proportions. Not to
mention that my tongue tastes like I’ve been eating road-kill. Yuck.
I squint one eye open and then
scrunch my lid shut immediately as protection from the harsh yellow light
coming in through the window framed by black-flowered curtains. What fresh hell
is this? Who has opened my—
Shit.
I don’t have black-flowered
curtains.
I inch open my lid at snail’s pace,
this time preparing myself for the assault of light from the left of the room.
Yep. Black floral curtains still there.
I open my eyes wider and take in
more of the room in front of me. Aside from the window, there’s a black bedside
table with a digital clock on the top of it, right next to a red lamp. The
floor is covered in a shaggy-looking cream carpet, a black skirt and red lacy
bra lying on top of it.
Oh, no.
Please, please no …
I slowly raise the white sheet from
my body. Yep, exactly as I’d suspected.
My black skirt and red bra.
This, of course, leaves only one
question. But do I really want to look? Can I?
I rack my brain, trying to put
together the pieces of the night before. There was the party at Joe’s. I’d gone
there with Kate, because Dave and the band were playing. Michael. I saw
Michael. Tequila. Lots of tequila.
I glanced down at my hand. Seven
little lipstick lines mar its surface. One for each shot. At least I can
remember that.
But how the hell did I get here?
And, more importantly, where is here?
Excerpt
#2
We walk into the lounge room, and it
really is like walking into a house for the mourning. The heavy curtains are
pulled shut, casting the room in shadow. Someone—presumably Deb—has lit an
incense candle, so the heady scent of lavender fills the room. It creeps down
my throat, choking me, and I stop, swallow, and try to take shallow breaths.
Now is not the time to throw up.
On the couch is Kate. Scrunched up
balls of tissue surround her, a pile of them on the floor, and a beige-coloured
blanket covers her from the waist down. Her eyes are open, and she’s staring
straight ahead, but she doesn’t make any move to signal she knows I’m in the
room.
It’s the single saddest thing I’ve
ever seen.
I tiptoe over to her side, clear a
space in the tissue debris and sit cross-legged on the floor next to her.
“Kate?”
Nothing. Her eyes look straight past
me, straight through me, to something I can’t see.
My best friend is gone.
And I don’t know if she’s coming
back.
