Chapter 51

I forced my mind to return to the person in front of me as he greeted me from his old car, a pipe in his mouth this time. Mark called me early in the morning wake me up from a terrible nightmare. I don't know if I should be grateful for pulling me out or hold a grudge for pulling me from my warm bed. It took me a while to fight against the gravity of the bed.
