==COMPLETED== A goner by definition is a person or thing that is dead, lost, or past recovery. Patrick never truly understood what it meant to be a goner, using the term loosely when he felt hopeless and at rock bottom, but after a wild night whose events for the life of him couldn't be remember, the single word held more meaning than ever before. Because after that night, he truly was a goner. And he didn't even realize it.
