Come Through The Window

6

The next thing I remember, I was awake and Vince and Richard were asking me, "Dude! What did you see? What'd you dream?" The back of my head was killing me.

"Fuck, did you let me fall?" I wasn't really that heavy, but Vince was pretty weak. He just stood there, looking guilty, and Richard told me he had. "What'd you see though?" he asked.

I rubbed my head and said it was a lobster. It was pinching Vince's head off with its claws.

I turned to Mike, watching from the L-shaped beams above, and said, "See, it's fuckin' awesome."

"Whatever, I don't trust any of you enough to do that shit to me."

"Come on man, you gotta try it. It's no more dangerous than what you're doing now. I promise I won't let you fall like this bitch did."

He squinted in the way people do when they're trying to decide if what they're thinking of doing is worth the risk or trouble. He jumped down one last time, got up and said, "Fine, once."

If only he would have thought a little longer, or just flatly refused.
