I sat in my hotel room and smoked for a while. He remembered something that happened before Allie’s death, when I excluded Allie from a BB-gun game— I still feel guilty for having left Allie out. Eventually, I went to bed. Then all of a Sudden, there was a knock at my door. I was in my pajamas, I opened the door to face the burly elevator operator, Maurice, who returned Sunny to collect the extra five dollars, Sunny demanded. I refused but Maurice pins him against a wall while Sunny takes the money from his wallet. Maurice snaps his finger into my groin, and ( I know… it’s childish) I started to insult him. Maurice hit me in the stomach and left me crumpled on the floor. I imagined myself being a movie character, taking my revenge on Maurice after having been plugged in the gut with a gangster’s bullet. Finally, I managed to get into bed and go to sleep.
