Here he was, on a cold Friday night, the RA crippling his joints was, for once, held at bay. He remembered how his Dad would take him bowling, or “Polish Chess” as he called it. “Bowling, Mikey,” his dad calling him by his loved-loathed-loved nickname, “is about skill and finesse. It’s like courting a woman and saving a friendship. If you can bowl, you can do anything.” Like Mike, his Dad’s RA soon left him unable to bowl, or much of anything else. Mike remembered how much pain his Dad was in that last day when he asked Mike to get them some Pepsis from the 7-11. Mike was just closing the cooler when he heard the bang from his Dad’s service revolver. It was probably a blessing that the crowd blocked the view of the brain and blood splattered windows of the truck, but Mike still felt no closure. Now, cruising around with nowhere to go, nowhere to bowl, Mike spotted the 7-11 a few blocks away. Forcing a smile, he turned to his only child and asked, “Kelly, honey, you know how sore my joints are. Would you mind going into the store and getting us some Pepsis?”

The last thing he thought was how bitter the barrel tasted in him mouth.
