I raise the glass to my lips another time. Instead of taking a small sip the entire drink went down. WOW this is good. I mean it burns as it goes down but it leaves a nice warm feeling. That's nice. Not as nice as my wife though. God I miss her. Should I call. No she'll call. Just gotta wait....
Waiting...
Waiting...
SHE ISN'T PICKING UP!!!
This can't be my fault. She told me to go to that job. Its not my fault I was fired. Well it kinda is. I guess I did scream at my boss. Losing us the deal...
But in a way
Its HER fault.
Yeah
Her fault
Not mine
So why could she be annoyed at me? Maybe Because i didn't wash up?
No that's not it
I drink a lot and that I'm a bad drunk?
...
No that's not it
I know!!! Its because I bought her that pink scarf at christmas!
I should've bought her the blue one.
God this pub is depressing. Full of sad and lonely people just like me...
I'll drink to that.
Wow how much have I drunk. I'm on my 6th bottle. Oh wait 8th. Didn't see those sneaky bottles there. I should leave. But if I leave I'm leaving to a divorce. Oh god a divorce. Now I remember what we argued about. She wants a freaking divorce. Damn wife.
Well I don't need her. I can have a new wife. And she can have the kids. Well I don't get a choice in that.
She gets the kids...
I get the dog
Hey
I get the DOG
I love that dog
Snuffles?
No Steve
Brian?
I don't know
But at least I get the dog. I mean that counts for something right?
I'm gonna need a new wife...
I've been with Hannah for too long and I can't be single.
I'm a nice guy. Sweet. Funny. Brave. Single. IM A DREAMBOAT!!!
Where to find my new wife then?
Looking around this sad lonely pub I see no one that I like. Oh wait she seems nice. Young, pretty, funny, smart and...
And...
Married
Damn it...
Well what about her?
Not as pretty, obviously drunk, seems like fun.
Hey I'll talk to her.

Nope
Nope
Nope
She wants me to pay her
Rephrase that
She wants me to pay her HOW much!
You know what there's a park a few blocks away from here.
I'll go there and meet the perfect woman. Get married, have kids and grow old together with our dog-Tim
No that's not the dogs name.
Right I'll leave now.
After a few more drinks.
I mean come on
One more drink couldn't hurt??

God I still miss her. Oh yeah and the bars on fire. I don't know how It just sort of set alight.
After I spilt whisky onto it
And threw matches onto it
I blame the wife
Oh no it burnt the rest of the drinks
Poor booze
Well I should leave and find the perfect woman quickly.
I reach over the blazing fire and take one of the remaining bottles and a pack of peanuts.
I always loved peanuts.
Not as much as I loved Hannah
Wait I can't talk like this
I'm gonna dance instead
Dancing to the park is a billion times better than Walking
Hannah who?
No forget it I'm Crying
Between sobs I manage to scream out
"Damn wife!"
