Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 101

!!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week. Mine was fine and business as usual. I'm starting to feel a little better now. I've been having a pretty bad potassium deficiency during the past few months and my previous doctor wouldn't treat it, so I dumped him and found a new doctor who has given me prescription strength potassium supplements. My levels are slowly going up, so that is good. It will be nice to be able to have energy and exercise again. I've been struggling to function because it's caused me terrible exhaustion, but the thing that's been the worst is that my muscles have been feeling exhausted as well. Walking up the stairs, walking around the house, teaching lessons and running errands have been very hard for me. Both have made it very hard to exercise.

On the upside, I have two gigs this week for St. Patrick's Day, so that will be nice.

My son had half days this week, so I had to pick him up earlier everyday. We both survived and now he's off for a week for spring break. We plan on taking our travel-trailer to a nice RV park for a few days. It will be nice to have some time away to relax. Don't worry, this place has good wifi, so you will get your update on Friday next week.

Anyways, this week, Gabe cuts a vein open on Patrick's collarbone with the tattoo needle and he loses a ton of blood. Gabe heals the wound and boosts his blood count, but he has to give Patrick his blood to keep him alive, which causes him to have a horrifying hallucination. It gets a bit gruesome, so check the trigger warnings and stay safe.

As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like it feel free to vote on my story or leave me a message.   If you'd like to discuss the story with me, you can find me on tumblr @dancecoaster. Happy Reading!

Chapter 101

********Trigger Warning for Graphic Violence, Extreme Gore, and Torture********

Gabe is doing the linework for the tattoo he's working on. He began at the top of Sugar's shoulder and is now working on the area around his collar bone. He looks down at Sugar and can tell he's in immense pain and it's about to get much worse, which makes Gabe so happy. Any time you get near a bone, it is much more painful, but since Sugar is pretty skinny, his collar bones are sticking out a lot. That means when he goes over his collar bones, it will be unbearably painful. He finishes up everything and now must go over Sugar's collar bone in several places. The first pass over this area is obviously exceedingly painful judging by Sugar's eyes opening as wide as they possibly can. The second pass over a different part of his collar bone goes without incident but is just as painful as the first pass. However, on the third pass over close to the end of them, something goes wrong. He's paying complete attention to what he's doing, but somehow, he deeply punctures Sugar's skin with the tattoo needle, and it starts profusely bleeding. Gabe puts his mouth over the wound to catch what is coming out, assuming that it will clot quickly, and he can get back to what he was doing, but as his mouth keeps filling with blood after he's swallowed many gulps, he realizes that something is wrong, and Sugar's body isn't clotting like it should. He looks down at Sugar and notices that he's getting very pale, he's having trouble keeping his eyes open and it appears that he's very dizzy. Gabe doesn't know what to do. First, he tries to lick the wound to see if that would close it, but that doesn't work. When he looks down at Sugar again, he's passed out.

"Fuck! Doc! We need you in here now!" Gabe calls as he grabs some gauze to cover the bleeding wound.

Spencer approaches from where he was standing and watching.
