this morning #1625.
this morning, once i’d decided that i’d try to invite my friends over & find out if any of them knew about the gun, i should’ve thought through what i’d do if any of them actually did. initially, only one of them took the bait but then later in the day another friend said he also wanted to help out. with the benefit of hindsight, i now know that i missed a sign. after we’d finished making the house acceptable for my parents’ return, the three of us retreated to the basement to smoke up. the friend who’d made the last-minute decision to join us got way too stoned. slipped up. spoke up. made an off-topic crack about “people with guns” & looked right at me. then he caught himself. tried to backtrack but the cat was out of the bag.
