This Is The Part Where You Laugh (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
The games under the bridge tonight aren’t good, no quality players, and Creature dominates without trying very hard. In one game, the high pick-and-roll fools the other team four times in a row and I hit him for layups and dunks, until it doesn’t fool the other team on the fifth run and I pop a long jumper off the screen. Creature shrugs and says, “That kind of night, I guess.” There isn’t a single good game. Afterward, while we’re unlocking our bikes to go, I see something in the ivy on the lit-up side of the nearby bridge pylon. “Hey, Creat, what is that?” He looks. “I don’t know.” Something pink. I walk up there. It’s the hood of a jacket. A woman’s jacket. The woman is mostly hidden by the ivy. She’s sloped downhill, her feet high, her head low, and she’s passed out. One sleeve is rolled up and the needle is still in her arm, attached to the syringe. Creature says, “Is it her?” “No.” “Are you sure?” “Yeah.” I kneel down. “What should we do?”
