The monster and I had a lot to say.
Chase Was Right
I didn’t sleep much that
night
and not for the next
day
or three afterward,
either.
Sarah invited me
over,
I told her I felt
under
the weather,
both
to escape inevitable
questions
demanding uneasy
answers
and to consider my
options:
possibility number
one,
Chase, likely;
two,
Brendan, maybe;
three,
someone altogether new.
Who knew?
