CHAPTER SEVENTY

2003- I Did It To Myself

December 26th.  Boxing Day. 

 

I woke up at around 11, and my first thought was “This is the day Mundo became a ghost.”  Also, the day that Cabrón took over. And now both were gone. One was living a tropical dream with a beauty queen. One was in jail.   

 

So crazy to think that four years had passed since then. So sad to realize that it all still took up so much space in my brain.  I wished I knew why I still cared.

 

But fuck it.  I had to try to focus on the future.  And I only had one day to enjoy myself before the onslaught of holiday sex work came crashing down on me.

 

I hit the streets- on a mission to head to midtown Manhattan, buy an expensive bottle of brandy or two, and maybe score some Ambien.  I went to my usual cop spot, where there were a few people standing around, open for business.  The Ambien were easy to score.  And when the chick I copped from asked if I was in the market for some killer dope, I didn’t think twice. 

I handed her some of my bonus money and walked away.
