                         Stumbling down the street, I start to think that the bartender may of been right. 15 shots of hard Vodka is a bit much even for a Slav like me. I look up to the sky and come to a realize it is pitch black in the sky, meaning I've been out for at least 5 hours. I start walking akwardly towards my apartment. Well... Where I think my apartment should be. If I get lucky, maybe I'll pass out infront of the apartments and the landlord, Olga, will drag me inside again. Well, not so much drag as much as deadlift. But hey, any woman that can lift 170 pounds up stairs is good mother material in my book. I manage to make out my street name as I proceed to keep walking down the street.

                               As I keep on my journey, I hear a familiar voice coming through a gritty radio out a window. Ah yes. Putin himself giving a speech. Why he would be doing so at atleast 1 in the morning escapes me, but who cares. Probably just a rerun. I come to regret that I didn't atleast have a few glasses of water with my liquor, as the headaches start setting in slowly. The pain starts to intensify into a migraine. I start to stumble and trip over my feet as my head starts to flare up. The main problem is that it's never been this bad before. And I've been drinking since my 14th birthday. HARD. Yes, yes. I know it's a problem, but it's just to hard to stop. I've always had issues with attatchment and addiction, this is just another one of the results.

                        Before I can even react. Snow is right in front of my face as I trip and fall into the winter "wonderland" around me. God, I hate those American Christmas songs. It's a whole different story when it snows every other day, and not a few times out of the year. But Christmas is still a warm and jolly time, when it does come around. Back to the topic at hand. I begin to pass out, but I wake myself up and continue on.

I can see my apartment now. I think.

So.

Close.

                          Aw screw it. Too much effort. I give into my desire and fall back onto the snow covered pavement. I begin to doze off and everything fades to black. Nothing. But. Darkness.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm back (for those who actually have read some of the things I've posted). This is just a random idea I had a day or two ago. If you guys like it, I'll try to start posting a chapter a week, or just move onto some other pipe dream. But I do plan on posting another part fairly soon. Thanks for reading!
