FLASH FICTION FRIDAY 55
"THE LAST DRUNK"
Sober three months that July 4th, she could repeat, but didn't understand "don't be in slippery places with slippery people".
She on the dark island with drinkers, fireworks ended, boat broken, sitting alone on a cooler of beer.
A mental blank place, she stood, turned, opened the cooler, drank the first of her last drunk.

Oh PG, I think this happens more than I would care to know about, so hard is addiction.., brilliant 55!
Super powerful, and cautionary. Thank you.
My mind thinks about if she knew it was going to be here last would she have ended the relationship in this manner. I know my last night of drinking wasn't the way I would have planned it had I of known I wasn't going to caress my demonic lover again, well again as in up to today. You did a beautiful job in describe something so powerful in 55.
Thanks
Very pain filled 55. It really does tell an entire story. Sounds like experience to me :)
It happens so easily - unless there's an iron will around.
Great words.
i remember this from your story...
An island with beer is a bad place to be when trying to get sober! But you came to your senses soon after..good one, PG.
Very nice PG, thank you.
Excellent. I'm not one being troubled by addictions, but I have lived with them, so I know just what temptations and difficulties this is to those who are. Excellent.
My 55 is posted here. Have a super weekend. See you next week, I hope.
The first beer of the last drunk. AMAZING PG! Truly amazing 55!
BUt then one stays sober one day at a time. One day at a time.
Great 55.
One can not play with fire and not get burned.

very powerful 55, pg.
Perfect.
That was sad. I wish she will have more will power next time!
I'm always mystified at how the HP shows up to say it's enough. It's time to stop. Really powerful.
Fantastic. Very powerful.
