My Vodka!

I wrote this while taking a capstone course involving Raymond Carver. His writing style seemed to have rubbed off a bit.

Walking, socializing, laughing.

Sip.

Catching up on old times. How was

your summer?

Sip, Sip.

Oh, really? Sky diving sounds awesome.

Gulp.

Nah, I didn’t go anywhere. Got the house

to myself for a week.

Gulp.

 

Drink 2, 3, 4. Onto 5.

Hey! Don’t touch my stuff! I paid

for that.

Gulp.

Who wants a shot? I do!

Chug. Slurp.

 

Can you have some vodka? Maybe…

I mean, I bought it.

 I’ll do a shot with you, alright?

Chug. Gulp.

 

My vodka! My vodka!

Less go on an adventure!

Wait, lemme take my vodka.

What? No more?

Cut off!?

My vodka!
