Happy Pills

Before Boss left, he made me promise to do away with the Happy Pills and the downers.

And this morning, I thought, "what he doesn't know can't hurt me". What the heck, I'll take a couple of happy pills and don't tell Boss.

So I did.

At 10.07 am, my mobile vibrated with a dedicated ring tone. I knew who it was. Because the ring tone says, "Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

It was Samuel L. Jackson.

And my dedicated ring tone for Boss.

My fingers started to get cold.

See, with this stupid phone, phone calls and messages are the same god-damn tune. I took a deep breath and reached for the phone. With a lot of guilt.

It was a text. And I could sigh in relief.

I'm so edgy. And realise that I am wrong. Boss texted me about breaking fast, and my stomach turned.

I am sorry. Can you find it in you to forgive me?
