ii . in the present

emir is drunk, and if he's not drunk, he plans on drinking, and if he doesn't plan on drinking, then he's drunk. ( starting to catch on ? ) he's at work at the bar. actually, he's not at work. he slept through his shift. ( how has he not gotten fired ? ) because he fell asleep under the bar. because his boss is just as insane as him. because everyone in this town is just as insane as him. no, don't listen to him, he's rambling. he's had too much to drink.

and he's in a good mood. he's always in a good mood until he's not in a good mood. and you're going to have the best night of your life with him. and you're going to have the worst morning of your life the next day, face down in a toilet. face down in a gutter, he overslept, he's a drunkard.

he's had too much. he needs a ride home. somehow, not quite known as the town disaster just yet. there are worst disasters to come by. besides, he's still a nice guy. he's still there in a pinch if you need him. he's still showing up to brunch, looking nice with sunglasses and a cute outfit. was he really that mess you saw last night ? sometimes, he felt like two totally different people. no, it's just you who thinks that. everyone else thinks he's fine. fine and normal. maybe not normal. but fine.

it's all in your head; maybe you shouldn't drink so much.

iii . in dreams

his dreams are always weird even if they are always different. he's had one where he's awoken on the beach only to be kidnapped by pirates. he's had one where he's bullied by a bunch of frogs. he's even dreamt that he was turned to ash and then reborn again.

but one dream kept repeating to him. in it, he was drinking. ( he usually was - dream or not. ) and he lost a friend. except not a friend. a weird mix of the feeling between losing your dog and your parent at the grocery store.

and in it, he waits in agony. he searches and searches, but he knows in his heart, he will not find him. like most dreams go, where you're aware you've lived this before but you still cannot get out. ( bound by fate. )

and finally, someone brings back whom he so dearly missed. his rage and fear and guilt all drift away. he looks at the person standing in front of him -- a face he can never remember when he awakes but seems so clear while he is asleep -- and thanks him, offers him anything in the world.

and when he hears what he wants, he feels a weird twinge of schadenfreude. the way you feel when someone asks to eat a spoonful of vanilla extract. lick a lemon. "do you think i can balance on this chair?" you know the outcome, but you watch the chaos unfold before you.

who would grant misfortune onto someone who gives them a gift ? what does that say about him ? the gift-giver or receiver ? what does that say about emir ?

maybe he shouldn't drink so much before bed.
