| Port In A Paper Bag |
| by Doug Draime |
| “Nothing is louder
than the voices in my head, especially when I don’t drink. So, I keep drinkin’ to not hear them fucking voices.” He smiled and winked, handing me the bottle of cheap port in a paper bag. I closed my eyes and took a long, deep drink, feeling it burn igniting my blood, my head rushing. He was still smiling when I opened my eyes. “ I can sure see you love that port, boy. I can see you love that port” He started to laugh as he gestured with his hand for me to pass the bottle over once again. |
