Relapse

You’re slurring your words.  Are you okay?
I’m okay.  Just tired.  I’m really tired.
I get tired too, but I don’t slur my words.  
I’m tired.  You’re acting like that guy in Mystic River.
Mystic River, the movie?
Yes, where he makes him admit that he did it
And he didn’t do it.  And then he shoots him the head.  
I’ve seen it.  
But are you high?  Because I’ve heard you high and that’s what you sound like.
I’m not high.  I’m just tired.  And I feel weird.  
My head is spinning.    
Okay.  I’m not bringing your son tonight.  You’re too tired.
Yes I’m tired.  I’ll see him tomorrow.    
Yes, but you’ll be asleep tomorrow.
Don’t be that guy in Mystic River.
I won’t.  And anyway, I don’t own a gun.
