Instructions For The End Of The World - Plot & Excerpts
Most animals (including people) rarely look up, so I can see everyone who comes and goes without them seeing me. I recognize most of the faces—people from town, a few old-timers who used to live at the village back in its early days, and plenty of my mom’s cronies, her former party crowd. This doesn’t bode well for her staying sober. I’ve read all the literature. I know she’s supposed to avoid people she used to party with, or else she’ll slip back into old habits. But like Helene said, I’m supposed to let her succeed or fail on her own. Her staying sober is not my responsibility. I can never tell with Annika what her true motives are. She could be serious this time about wanting to stay sober, or she could just be lying to herself. I am starting to think Nicole won’t show as I watch one person after another pass by—all people I am not looking for. I see Laurel return from town with Pauly, both of them carrying bags of ice for the party, and I am finally busted when they see me.
