Chapter 52 REALITY STRIKES

• Xander made stupid noises as he rummaged through the bottles on the table for the one that still had alcohol in it. He caught one that still had a little bit of alcohol in it, but it was at the bottom. He stuck out his tongue, shaking the bottle in his mouth, but only a drop touched his dried tongue. "Argghh!!" he screamed in frustration and pushed all the bottles on the table to the floor, some of them breaking in the process. He felt dizzy and wasted; his eyes were extremely red, and his head went out of his control and landed on the table with a great thud. He groaned in pain, closing his eyes as he sat there, drifting to sleep.
• Melody was in a taxi with her boyfriend; the taxi was driving through the streets of one of the major cities in Canada, Toronto. Melody was looking out the window of the taxi. The beautiful but windy atmosphere around her added to the uncanny mood. Melody was extremely happy that she was finally living a dream; she was out of Florida, where she had lived her whole life. She couldn’t wait to settle down and enjoy the place. It was an early November afternoon there in Toronto, and she could see snowflakes like crystals slowly descending from the sky, which made her place her hand on the window.
• "You like what you see? I told you it was a good thing to get out of the US entirely; you wanted to go to Las Vegas." Her boyfriend said behind her. "If we had gone there, it would have been easy for the queen you stole from to find you; that’s why you have to use your brain sometimes." He added.
