The icy 4am breeze blew up and under my jacket, goosebumps washed over my body and my face turned numb as my toes inched over the edge of the steel railing, my fingers clinging on to the pole next to me. Looking down at the black water I see faces, swirling around, staring to me. I squeeze my eyes shut. Shit! I forgot to take my meds. I think to myself. I open my yes and crouch own swiftly, slur hung the railing, before taking the final jump back to solid ground.

Upon my walk home I grab my box of cigarettes from the back pocket of my black skinny jeans and flick open the packet, leaning in to take out one, the filtered end between my lips. I incinerate the other end, the orange burning bright in the early dawn of the morning. It's been 5400 seconds since I arrived an took the step onto the rail. Anywhere was better than home. Being in a fucking hurricane is better than this fucked up place.
I need to get home. I need my pills.

Upon my arrival to the street and after 122 minutes of walking, the sun had begun to rise but the wind was still ice. Something wasn't right, and it took me a small moment to figure out what was missing. The car; mom and dad had gone to the hospital to visit Helena. Shit. I wish she was okay. I fiddled with my key for 35 seconds trying to get in the door, before I could actually unlock it and open it. I kicked my Converse off and shut the door quietly behind me, making my way to the kitchen for a glass of water before I could take my pills. I stopped, briefly making a mental picture of where they were...on my comic books...I think. Four bottles.
I took a sip of my water
And continued to walk to my basement bedroom, carefully feeling for each step as it was considerably dark. It hadn't yet occurred to me that my door was already open when I entered my room. I felt around for the light switch and flicked it on, taking a few more steps further into my room. The door slammed and u spun around quickly. I felt the glass slip from my fingertips, there was no catching it. "Mikey, NO!" I screamed as the glass collided with the concrete, the glass smashing into pieces.
