His fist slams into the panel of the door. “Fuck that. No one can help me. Do you know what it’s like to always relive the worst day of your life? To wake up and see it, smell it, hear it over and over?” He punches his own head. “I’m a fucking prisoner to my own head. One more death, Scotty. One more murder, and I don’t know if I can take it. I pray every day I’ll wake up and I’ll forget who I am. What I’ve done. But there is no God to save me. There is nothing to shut it off.”

He pulls out a flask from the pocket of his jeans. I don’t make a move to swipe it away. The last thing I need is a fistfight to ensue while I’m driving and crash the car.

“Stop it, man,” I say, my tone low.

He takes a swig. “This helps, Scotty. It makes the images distort, it takes away my pain. I thought …” His voice trails into nothingness, a soft laugh leaving him. “I thought that she would. But she fucking lied to me.”

“Who?” I ask, my brows furrowing.

But Declan doesn’t answer, his eyes closing as he lets out a breathy sigh, and within seconds he’s fast asleep.

The End…
