    Summary

    “Hey, is Harry okay,” Judit pointed. Jean squinted, finding it hard to see through the front window because of the glare. A few seconds later Harry burst onto the sidewalk and began vomiting into a flower pot.

    “Holy shit.”
    -
    “Jean? Yes, it’s Kim, do you have a moment?” Asked the thin voice on the line.

    “Sure,” Jean replied cautiously. There was a pause.

    “I’m going to be honest, I need some help with Harry,” Kim said, pausing for a reply. Jean gritted his teeth. He knew Kim hadn’t been through this cycle with Harry before, like he had so many times. Because of this he didn’t feel it necessary to yell obscenities at him like he normally did at whoever brought up Harry.

    Ancient Reptilian Brain: Back in the inbetween, the nonexistent void of nothing. The unfeeling numbness of a noncorporeal nonbeing. But nothing lasts forever.

    Limbic System: The scream of existence shatters you, you’ve broken into too many pieces. Your body aches. You are alive.

    Harry stirred and felt the aching throughout his body. He also felt a hand on his shoulder. He squinted into the darkness at the looming silhouette of Kim. Kim was leaning against the headboard, asleep.

    Summary

    Kim took a long drink of his beer. It tasted watery and bad, exactly what he needed. “Why have you been coming here every night for a month?”

    “Intellectual stimulation. And I wanted to see you again.”

    “Intellectual stimulation?” Kim was struck by how different this man was sober: playful and charming and not nearly as pathetic. A proper flirt, his voice and posture expressive, exuding warmth. Kim had liked him as a sad drunk, but relatively sober? Oh, Kim liked him.

     

    Kim and Harry meet eight years before Martinaise at a cruising bar where Kim never wears his glasses.

    Summary

    His thumb traces slow circles around the nub of bone in your wrist.

    “Kim?"

    He pulls his hand back. “I’m sorry, I’ve been drinking.” He smiles. His pupils are dilated and the warmth coming off of him is feverish and so tempting.
