Blood on the Steering Wheel

2/1/2021

0 Comments

 
I rushed to my wife, box in hand.
“You promised to come back.” Her too-thin form shook as she hugged her pregnant belly. 
“I’m here.”
“You’re not.”
Feeling helpless, I looked at the wrecked car. Blood on the steering wheel - so much of it, even the seats stained crimson.

Alarms & Sirens

It's been a long day. My room looks full but feels as empty as I am. I put down the phone beside the pill bottle and empty glass of vodka - my mouth bitter, throat on fire. Tonight, I rest. No snoozed alarms and blaring sirens will wake me tomorrow.
