I'm Nicotine, I'm Coming Clean by

Very lovely little story. It's like Bill doesn't know what he's looking for until he finds it.
"You love it," Patrick corrects. He's too reasonable, it's annoying. "And your rent is amazing, and you have security at the door, and I already moved your huge fucking bed up three flights of stairs once, I'm not doing it again for another five years. That was the deal. Also, you owe me, like, six months of pizza for that already."
Whoops. Shit.
"I've got to go," Bill says. He thinks about making tunnel noises, but remembers at the very last minute that he called Patrick from his land line. "Uh, Bruce just threw up all over the rug, I have to clean it up."
Patrick pauses. He pauses, and then he says, "Bruce is a fish."
Whoops.
"I know, weird, right?"
