Nightclubbing

 Who?

I know this one’s name. Debbi. With an I and no e. She told me that a few times. She told me a lot of things. Over and over again. Pretty with make-up prettier without. I thought she was just another girl out for a night out. Another party girl. Out with her friends who seemed not to be there right now. Where were they? Why has they left her like this? Who would abandon someone this drunk? She wasn’t drunk though. She had just been made to look that way.

 

Where?

On a kind of upholstered bench in a club in Nottingham that had seen better days. Everything in there was something you could get stuck to. Everything in there had all the fluids spilt on it at some point. A place where the lights had gone out and not yet been replaced. Somewhere that was the same today as it was in the 70’s. She was collapsed in on herself. Leaning slightly to the left and looking peaceful as she dribbled on herself. Her glass had toppled over spilling whatever was in it all over whatever it was sitting on.

 

Why?

She had made herself vulnerable by not being able to control herself. That’s what I thought. An easy target. That’s until I heard them talking. Deciding who was going to take her home. Laughing about how it had been so easy. Buy a girl a drink and give her a little something extra for taste. Get her to that place a little bit quicker. Now the suggestion to just take her to the toilets was being passed about. Take her in there, do your thing, then leave her to find herself in a few hours. If anyone else came across her first well done them.

 

When?

When they carried her into the toilet. That was the course of action they had decided on. People saw them and decided not to mention it to themselves. It looked like they were helping her. They weren’t helping her. I followed them in.

 

How?

I broke a bottle of Newcastle Brown on the first one’s head. Used the broken bottle on the other two and then back to the first smashing his head on a toilet as had as I could. It cracked both the toilet and his head so it must have done the trick. Blood made the ocean of piss on the floor a lovely brown colour. I was quick and easier than it should have been. She was not the only drunk person in this picture. I then put her arm around my shoulder and walked her out the front door waving at the security cameras as I passed.

This is not a suicide note.  I am not allowed to do that. That would make me the bad guy. If things were a bit different though I would deffo be eating toast in the bath. I hope I get ill again. That would be perfect. The only problem with getting ill last time was that I got better. I was ready. I was ‘at peace’. Then, as now, I have had enough. I am always tired, I always hurt. I am never shown any love and I don’t really do anything I enjoy. All the things I am supposed to enjoy either I don’t or I get stopped from doing by other people who are supposed to care about me. I am now old enough to know I will never get what I want in my life. This is it, my best days are behind me and I wasted them on making do. The sun comes out and I get sunburn in the hope that it will fix my skin. In the hope it will make me better. It just makes my skin fall off in different ways and hurt from a new angle. I look for stuff to fill the box I live in. The space is getting smaller and ...

And then they all stopped talking. What had they been saying? It was definitely something to do with me. I don’t mind. It just makes me laugh to myself. I need to laugh. Even if it’s just an internal thing.  The guy with no hair is round again. Buzz buzz buzz . You open the window but the wasp won’t flay out. He would be better off out there in the world but he would sooner be banging into windows. You bump into the criminal by accident. What do you say? Does he know I know? He must do. He knows the environment. He knows what’s happening. What do you say? You say ‘alright’ and then you move past. You are glad you don’t have your child with you. That would have been weird.  You go back through history. You see all the relics and ignore them for plastic hiding in cabinets.  You are melting. Your skin is coming off. The machine won’t work. Why won’t the machine work? And you try and you try and you try and everyone is looking at you and you are melting.  An...
