Fine Time To Lose Your Mind - Jack McManus
Having fought with Gary and pissed off Howard in the space of a few hours, Mark wandered home amidst a new certainty that tomorrow would be better. Not that he thought tomorrow would be any good. Tomorrow would be shit. But it couldn’t be as shit as today. He should have seen this coming. He’d been so happy of late, he was due a come down, he was due a bit of madness. It was the worst time to go insane, to get an attack of the no-confidences. But he knew that from here on out, everything he touched would turn to shit. That’s why he turned down all the invites he found on his voicemail at home; he didn’t want to ruin their party, he didn’t want to bring everyone down at their trip to the pub, he couldn’t even bring himself to call Jason back. Jason had obviously spoken to Howard and Gary coz his voice was full of concern and he even threw in a couple of light insults to their friends for good measure. Mark did have to smile at Jason’s voice calling Gary a stuffy git and Howard a tetchy bastard. Jason always knew what to say to raise a smile. But still Mark locked his door, made himself a cuppa and headed for an early bed. He fell into a dreamless sleep and only woke at 3a.m. to the feel of someone sitting themselves down on his bed. Groggily Mark looked up. ‘Go away Jay’ he mumbled, not questioning how Jason had gotten in. Jason simply placed a hand on his arm. ‘Why? What you so busy doing; going insane? Just go back to sleep Mark’ he murmured. ‘I’ll only drag you down if you stay’ Mark warned. ‘I’ll take my chances with that’ Jason assured.
