The Party

Chapter Three

I arrive at Tom's house. The lights are all on and music blaring. I see people out in the yard talking and drinking. I continue up the cobblestone path. I see him. The man with the red hat. He looks at me. I look back. Unaware of my fate I walk in the doorway.

So loud I cannot hear people talk. I walk into the kitchen to put down my liter of soda. Tom is here. Standing across from me. He says hi. I say it back. We don't know each other. Why did he invite me? I think to myself.

I grab a can from the table and sit on the couch in the living room. I open the can. It smells weird.. I drink it. For some reason I drink it all within a minute. It tastes so good. I get up to go get another, and another, and another. I get one last one and sit down. I am dizzy at this point. I open the last can. As I lift the can and move it to my mouth I freeze. My grip is tight. Eye sight is blurred. I fall over.
