It was true.

I like lines like that which could go either way. There’s a poetry to it. For me, it didn’t matter if it was true or the character was simply being quick on his feet and making up an excuse for why he was passed out through all the ruckus. It also said a lot with a few words in either case. I grew up in the rural south and had my share of box fans so, even if it wasn’t true, it was entirely believable.

No wasted words. Straight to the meat and enough said without saying it. This is real stuff.

I'm new. Always wrote stories but was too busy getting into fights or other trouble to bother with grades. Landed my ass in commercial construction. Didn't expect to find you on here. Love your style.

Willl be following close and with anticipation.

Haha. Very few people have heard this story. It’s a tough one to tell. I’m not proud of any of it.

We all did stupid stuff when we were young. Glad you learned from it though!

Shit happens. It just seems to happen more when you’re a teen. And more than that when alcohol is involved. And more than that when a lot of alcohol is involved. It’s the circle of life’s fuckups. Better that we’re looking back on it and not forward to it.

Thank you very much for sharing. I'm also currently writing about all the terrible things I did as an alcoholic. It's always comforting to see I'm not the only one.

Well perhaps community service and picking up litter for the rest of your life will be restitution for this crime.
