The event happened a long time ago. Still, all I have to do is close my eyes and the details play out on the back of my eyelids like a movie. After being awakened in the middle of the night by someone banging on the front door, I wrap myself in my sheet like a toga. I make my way across the house to the source of the racket. I open the inner door and through the storm door I see a man in his late twenties, with curly shoulder-length blond hair, wearing oversized glasses.
I ask him, “What do you want?”
He replies, “Stormy is in my car. She’s too drunk to walk, but she wants to talk to you.”
I ask myself, “Does this guy want to fight me?”
I say out loud, “Are you sure she is out there, Man?”
“Yeah, You’re Jimmy, aren’t you?”
The door is set at a right angle to the street. As I reach to push the storm door open so I can see if anyone else is outside, I am distracted by my own reflection. With the door pushed partially open, I turn to the right and the man’s left hand is rising towards my face. I am blinded by a blue and gold light.
