I knew I was somewhat impaired but being me said Fuck it, I can do this, and began my ascent, eyes not on the uneven path but on that glorious moon off to the east. I had almost reached the top when I put a foot wrong and stumbled, twisting an ankle, falling to the ground.
The air was blue with curses as I removed my shoe to massage the rapidly-swelling joint; suddenly a different pain clutched me. My heart spasmed as I remembered meeting you on another night I'd been operating under the influence.
There you stood, as irresistible as this cliff. My skin prickled; shreds of sense submerged in my blood's alcoholic sea screamed 'Danger!' Warning bells clanged as we locked eyes, but faded as the voice of reason died in the clutches of desire. Fuck it, I said, I can do this.
The result, naturally, was as disastrous as this ill-fated climb, and just like tonight, when I found myself lying, torn and bleeding, on the sand of the arena, I cursed you and fate and love and everything else I could think of - except, of course, myself. And just like tonight, when I could stand again, I got up, dusted myself off and walked on, straight and proud, saying Fuck it - I can do this. ~ excerpt from Rum Go, copyright 2015 RC deWinter
