The Aftermath

(Surimi): Jim is incomplete now because his life was incomplete then. His blackouts were the rude punctuation marks of a diseased brain. 
And not just alcohol. The chemicals, known and unknown, in Angel Dust, marijuana, and a host of others.
The best prisoner is he who does not know that he is imprisoned. The door is closed but is not locked because no key is ever sought.
"Drink me and everything will be alright," whispers the auditory hallucination. 
Blind loneliness as the final result.
Stop. 
He stopped.
Now what? What next? Where?
 
from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Chapter 36)
