“You havin’ another drink?”
I looked up at the bartender through the smoke of my cigarette. “Yeah, gimme another one,” I muttered before takin’ another drag. I watched as he poured another shot into the glass and nodded in thanks. Man, I was a sorry fuckin’ picture, sittin’ here…in a bar…doin’ nothin’. What ever happened to the good ol’ days filled with demons and apocalypses and shit? I grabbed the shot and tossed it back, yeah what ever happened?
I tossed some money onto the counter and gave a brief “nite,” to the tender. Might as well head back and see to the troops. All twelve fuckin’ zillion of them. I shook my head as I pushed opened the door and stepped outside. Shit, and I thought it was bad havin’ two of us. Not that I wasn’t grateful we kicked some First ass and saved the world, but shit. I feel like an unemployed slayer gone babysitter.
I walked down an alley, decidin’ to take the long way home, and was about to light up another cig when I heard a struggle goin’ on around the corner. Night was startin’ to look up after all. I busted ass around the corner and just saw a cat diggin’ through a trashcan it had knocked over. “Well fuck. Is there nothin’ to stake anymore?”
