Fix
By Severina
Chris fills the pod with his body, his voice, his neuroses, his anger, his love, his lust. Chokes the air until sometimes Toby thinks he can’t breathe for his overwhelming presence.
So when Chris is dragged from Em City -- Toby doesn’t witness it, but Poet paints a pretty word picture -- Toby’s first reaction is relief. He relishes a short reprieve, anticipates a few nights of solitary contemplation. Get a new book from the library.
By day two, his skin itches. By day four, he can’t concentrate. His novel goes unread.
Chris Keller is a drug, and Toby needs his fix.
