The Wedding’ by Mark Entwisle

“Then my neighbor Andrea passed by. She bought her staples, too: chocolate bars, a bottle of vodka, and cookies. ‘I’ll just sit in front of the TV tonight and wait for the military coup. I only hope that by the time it starts, I’m dead drunk,’ she said. She was standing in my doorway, all her defenses against the war contained in a single paper bag.”
