Part V: Snakes (Chapter 97)


Now that Sheldon has settled down, the Double Bing feels stiff in my pocket, and I look for an exit ‒ to a place where I can quietly inhale my latest lover: chocolate, crushed peanuts, and cherry nougat.

Sheldon and Daniel are eyeing each other from the opposite sides of the room, their fists clenched, their faces angry.



A ragged line of people keeps them apart.

My people act as if they have forgotten about what has taken place, but I know that another secret has been glued into the family album, the one that is supposed to stay closed forever.

I slip out into the darkness where I devour the Double Bing.

And wonder what the future holds.
