   Timeline: soon after Luke's death, 1993   
      
   Disclaimer: In my hands these characters really aren't the   
   characters that surfer created, they're better  than that, they like to   
   explore more extreme possibilities.

   Summary: Musings of John Doggett soon after the death of his son

   There it sits in all its fucking glory, the empty glass. Barbara's   
   going to be pissed, but I don't care. This is how I'm dealing with   
   it. The alcohol numbs the pain.   
      
   Luke is gone. There's nothing either of us can do about it. She   
   longs for comfort. I long for alcohol. I long for my own pathetic   
   life to end. I blame myself.   
      
   My revolver sits next to me. I can already smell the gunpowder. I   
   empty all rounds but one. Locked and loaded, one bullet. I spin the   
   cylinder.   
      
   The muzzle is cold against my temple. I pull the trigger.   
      
   Nothing.   
      
   Monica would say this is a sign that there's something worth living   
   for.   
      
   END
