It's a pleasant scene really; calm breeze whistling, bonfire glowing, uninhibited chortles rippling through the air. But I'm not feeling like myself today. I'm just forcing a smile through split, bloodstained lips and the sizzling of alcohol on open wounds is amusing. There are too many conversations. Entertained by slurred statements and detached from subject, I am void and vacant space occupying this camper chair. But when a muffled interaction begins, things finally get interesting. "You've got a little bit of crazy in your eyes." The observation haunts me.
