Released (Book Three) Caged Series
Blurb
Oblivion is a sweet, sweet place.
No pain. No disturbing thoughts of the
past. No guilt from my recent actions.
Deep down, there is still a part of me
that knows how screwed up I am. I don’t see a way out, not now. Tria’s gone,
and the possibility of her forgiving me in my current state is exactly zero. I
know I have to pull myself together, accept my responsibilities, and try to
make amends, but I have no idea where to start.
No job. No apartment. I’m living on the
streets with the other junkies. As little as I had to offer Tria before, I have
nothing to give her now. The only way out is to come clean and tell Tria the
truth about my past, but the idea of reliving the memories is so painful, I
can’t think about it long enough to figure out a solution.
I’ve hit rock bottom, and I don’t even
know which way is up any more.
Excerpt
I reached out and touched the edge of the
pillow. It was insanely soft and
warm. I stroked it, and images of Tria’s
breasts crawled through my head, making me smile. I stroked my cock as I thought about her, but
I couldn’t come.
I could hear a voice in the other room,
but it didn’t concern me, so I didn’t move.
Through heavy eyelids, I watched the piles of dirty laundry all over the
floor. I found shapes of animals in the
patterns, just like cloud pictures.
“The beans are gone.”
I rolled my head to the side and looked
up at Krazy Katie’s face. I smiled and
tried to say something, but my tongue wasn’t cooperating. I focused on her eyes as they stared down at
me quizzically.
“Trains need an engineer,” Krazy Katie
said.
“It’s okay,” I said. My tongue still felt weird, all numb and
heavy. I twisted it around in my mouth,
and it tickled my teeth. I blinked a
couple of times before looking back at my neighbor. “I got the helm. I’m all good.”
Did trains have a helm, or was that just
boats? I laughed.
Krazy Katie covered her eyes with one
hand. I could see her chest rising and
falling as she took long breaths. I
started counting slowly in my head but quickly forgot the number.
“Left the station,” she said
quietly. “No engineer. Kicked in the caboose. Nothing but tracks.”
She turned in slow motion, and I watched
vapor trails of her dull blue T-shirt swirl around the room as she left. I heard the window slide shut and then
silence.
“I’m all good,” I whispered.
There was no reply.
Even though my arms and legs were way too
content to be bothered with moving, I shoved myself out of bed anyway. My rig was sitting on the kitchen table, all
ready to go. I was still pretty high,
but I could feel darkness closing in around me, and I didn’t want it.
I wanted warmth and happiness.
Plastic tube, arm slap, needle prick.
“Like a fucking pro.”
I lay my head on the table as the fluid
sensations rippled through me. Tria
didn’t matter. She’d forgive me in
time. In fact, she was probably already
over it. How could she not be?
“I’m good. Really, I am.”
I was never one to lie to myself, but it
was getting easier all the time.
