Slowly, I take the water in my trembling fingers, the dead skin of my index finger's pointy knuckle scraping against its smooth glass. WHORE I scream and the echo answers WHORE!
An old white man with a light brown trenchcoat and white eyebrows walks over to me.His left hand is in his pocket, his right is thumping a cigarette out of its pack. Lighter, he says never looking up.
I hand him one, never taking my eyes off his wrinkly eyelids. Eyelids that stand at half mast at all times. He lights the cigarette and gives a thanks with a nod of those eyebrows.
He sits down next to me, looping his trench around the brass barstool legs. Whiskey, he says to the barmaid, scratching the bartop in front of him like he was hitting a ten in blackjack.
I finish the cup of water and he buys me another. Some hours pass and to make a long story short, he ends up fucking me in the asshole. And that's what I did on summer vacation.
So, umm... paper or plastic?
