An Excerpt from my latest story...

“Shit,” she sighed, then heard a far away groan.
Gigi attempted to open her eyes, but they were glued shut. She touched her lid
to help it lift. Sun blared at her like a parade of shiny trumpets glinting off
a cavalcade of glass bottles. “Ouch”.
“Where are we?” Viv’s voice muffled
from somewhere under the mass of covers.
Gigi propped herself up on one elbow and
reached for a cigarette. She took inventory of their surroundings. “Well, it’s
not a shit hole.” She lit a cigarette and sucked the smoke between her lips
letting it curl into her nose, then blew the foggy vapors into the bands of sunlight
and watched it swirl and make pretty paisley shapes. “But, it is a crime scene.”
Viv’s head emerged from the bottom of the covers,
her hair a rat’s nest, her eyes smeared with black mascara, and her lips dry
and swollen. “Hi Boo.” Gigi smiled at her. “You look like a hot mess.”
“Thanks.” Viv smirked and ran a hand over her
hair dislodging a cocktail stick stuck in the back. “Is anyone else here?”
