haven’t thought about it in a while but in a lifetime of wacky decisions the wildest thing i’ve ever done was at age 16, my girlfriend 15 we’d ******* a bunch but i wanted to spend the night together it was important to me god knows why so we made a plan one night i sat on the couch watching TV with her mom, dad her brother and sister and at 10 pm i said goodnight but instead of going out the front door i snuck upstairs to her room hiding in her closet with a flashlight and dostoevsky’s house of the dead no thought of repercussions which might have ranged from shrieking to assault to jail to fatality my mind was focused on one thing only even more astonishing from my current advanced perspective my bladder was entirely tame no need for any bathroom break a couple of hours and several chapters later when the house was silent i slipped into her bed mmm, mmm, mmm at 5 am i skulked down the stairs and hiked to the diner for a victory breakfast
