GUN

I’m a bad shot. If there’s ever a crisis you shouldn’t trust me with a gun. My ex once told me to aim at him in case he’s ever attacked—this way I will shoot the actual bad guys.

PrEP

My co-worker gives me an Ativan. I bite into it like aspirin after a hangover, except it doesn’t crunch. It melts between my teeth; the flavor is chalky, like the candy cigarettes my aunt would keep in the vending machine at her pizza place downtown.

I buy a pill case shaped like a bullet to carry benzos in, but I get prescribed Descovy instead. It only holds two pills.

“So I’m restricted to two-day benders; three tops”
