Leah who

bright sunlight stabs at my eyes
like a hot knife,and forces me
awake.once again too much booze.

when will i ever learn.oh god my head
is killing me.

strange room,not mine but whose?
nothing is familiar here, and looking around on the floor i
don't see my clothes anywhere.

hello,do you know what i've done with my clothes?

i struggled up to find the bathroom and tripped over a
sleeping dog,who growled under
his breath and kept sleeping
(cujo) i guessed.

hello i called louder,holding
my head to steady it.still no
answer.at least i found the toilet.on the medicine cabinet
was a note.

make your self at home be back at 8 leah.

did she mean 8am or 8pm who is
leah? if i could just find my clothes
my watch said 9am.i need coffee
so i can think.

in the tiny kitchen i found instant coffee and a pot to boil
the water.i put the water on and staggered back into the bedroom
to try and find my clothes.

i just need to lie down for a second or two. the next thing i heard
were sirens screaming,a dog
barking,glass breaking and a
fireman yelling is anyone in here.

black smoke choking me,coughing,
there's no air and i can't breath.feeling a hand grab at me
i held on and was pulled out of
the burning building.anyone else
in there they asked?just a dog i said, we got your dog out buddy

the ambulance took me to the nearest hospital.they decided to
keep me overnite,just to be sure
they said.i had to call my mom to bring me some clothes.

she was almost hysterical hugging me and thankng god that
her boy was okay.after all she said that whole building was
destroyed.and they still don't know how that fire started.

oh lord i might know how it started.but i am too afraid to say anything
about it to anyone.
thank god nobody got hurt.boy if this don't make me stop boozing it up
nothing ever will.i guess there's no way now of ever finding out who
leah is.
