There is the smell of disgusting alcohol, sharp and distinct. My eyelids feel weighted shut, light glowing through them in a reddish-yellow assurance that at least I haven't been dumped in a dark alley. My brain is awake now, with a primal surge of adrenaline that should carry me up to standing but cold, heavy limbs disobey. A background noise, a soft intermittent moan, comes to the forefront now as it gathers momentum, the moan relatively louder.
The shuffle of footsteps brings warm fingers that press my arm lightly. "Ah, you're awake." A pleasant voice.

He threw up his forearms like an offensive lineman blocking a defensive back, but I slipped to the side, pushed his elbow down and away, caught his head, and rolled him into the floor.I thought for a second once contact was made, and he was on his feet, watching me rush toward him in slow motion as he, even more slowly, jumped to his feet.

Grayson's POVI went to Dr. Charlie Troshinsky, a respected psychiatrist whom I had seen when I was fifteen after my high-school girlfriend had died suddenly. He was shocked at how thin I was.
