The sound of the round made him tired. Alan was drifting off a little. Aaron was up front and Jack was next to him.  Imogen Howe was driving. 

"Before we go home, I feel like we gotta see the water." 

"I know you said that but why?"

"But why? I've worked...

"How the fuck can you be happy this morning?" Aaron Said. 

"Yeah Jesus Christ. Whats your deal?" Jack said. 

Alan just shrugged. "I don't know I guess I didn't drink as much. It was just a good night, it was nice."

"Uhhhhhhh" Aaron said. Putting his head down.

"I've already showered, ate...

"But yeah, I uh should be going, I gotta hit the hay, then go to sleep." Sean said and he extinguished his cigarette by rubbing it into the ground.

Alan was so tired he just responded with "Yeah man. See you around." The sky was starting to get lighter now, it...

"What is it? Cards against Humanity? Not interested."


"Do you have an egg?"

"Uhh, I think, but I think its pretty old too."

"Yes, so, uhh  gather...

Alan was tired still, or groggy his brain fried but slowly coming alive to the night that would unfold. 

Imogen was different a bit. He'd only seen her at work, serious dedicated, and focused. There she seemed like his level, now though she was like way cooler. Smoking bowls and...

He was fading fast, it was some mixture of warm tea and the cold and the sun. He needed to sleep, then he knew he'd be okay.
