Christmas Lights
Last one, I'm done after this one. Wait one more, another, another, no more! The ice-cold air of the night hit my face as I opened the door after two previous failed attempts. My feet are floating on clouds. The sky is filled with Christmas lights, wasn't it February? I reach up to touch them, and the hairs on my bare arms tingle from the frosty air's bite. I laugh at how it hurts and tickles. I continue walking slowly. I'm not drunk I'm walking straight, right? I look down at my gym shoes, there's a fresh layer of snow. Snow? When did it snow? I hadn't noticed it before. I turn back around to continue walking the Beautiful lights on all the buildings are bright and hurt my head. I see a couple walking, is that my ex? I laugh out loud, "Reese! Hey Reeeeeesie! When did your mom get her?" I look at the woman on his arm. "Who are you? Wait you're not wearing a coat, You're drunk or something. walking like that I believe so. C'mon Kelly let's go." I get angry but I start to not care. I see a red and yellow glow flash across the street. I want to examine it closely to see it up close. I head across the street but wait a light's coming toward me. I turn my head, Car. Nothing, no pain. Was I really drunk? I was and I'm paying for it with my life. I should have known not to drink that much when I still had to get home.
