Memory loss

Penelope's POV

"You know, I hear that all the time.  The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back..."

"What are you doing over there? Turn off the radio."  Elda kicked the door open and slumped onto the couch  within two steps.

The tiny, 210-square-foot room was filled with a strong alcohol odor that struck my nostrils. I turned off the radio and  got to my feet. "You're drinking again?"

"What? If you can't bring me the dreamer, just shut the fuck up."

I scowled. "You'll die if you keep taking morphine like this."

The so-called dreamer Elda meaned was nothing but morphine. Yes, Elda was a morphine addict.

"Who the hell cares?!  Stop talking shit or fuck off!" Elda suddenly yelled madly  and tossed a pillow in my face.

"But I care!" I retorted, snatching up the weapon and running fiercely to Elda, "I care about you!"
