just before i woke up, i was sliding down an icy road, backwards, with no control over the breaks or steering. cory was sitting next to me, in the passenger seat, and he was acting very calm. i'm pretty sure it was on the northern half of my road, Flint River, and the trees were all covered with dirty-grey snow. when my car eventually steered itself into a small driveway, i was immediately out of the car, making my way up towards the house. when i got to the front door, there was a boy standing with two cans of soda, and when he closed the door and went inside, his arms were sticking through the door, outstretched, still holding the two cans of soda. that's when i woke up to my door opening, and saw dameon walking toward my bed. "hey buddy. it's past ten, did you sleep alright?" i told him i did, and he told me that his back was hurting him. when i asked him if my sisters bed was uncomfortable, he said no, it was beautiful. dameon can sleep almost anywhere and as long as his resting spot is horizontal, he won't complain. he started talking, "so, i'm not going in to work today," we laughed. "i'm just going to tell my dad i went to take my road test, and failed. my aunt will cover for me if he asks, i'm sure." when i told him he was worthless we both laughed harder. "oh yeah," he said, "i'm retiring after next week. i'm never working again." laughter. "i'm becoming a drifter. i'm going to wander around for a while, and just be scummy. i'll sleep in the park, maybe." my response: well, if we're going to do that, we might as well head south. somewhere warm all year round. we can take my car. maybe to tennesse? "oh," he said, "you're coming too?" "well shit, i know i've been thinking about doing this longer than you have." "well, alright then. we'll go this winter. we'll go to tennesse, and there will be a lot of good country musicians that we can meet. we might become famous there, and everyone should know that the only way one should be happy with fame is if it comes without any aspirations or thought put into it. "ok so, this winter then?" i said. "this winter. "
