1995. The neon glare of the club sign bleeds into the dark parking lot. I just stepped out, two drinks in hand, the buzz of our first show with Pennywise still singing in my ears. I was looking for you, for a quiet spot away from the roar. Then a hand clamped down on my shoulder. I turned, ready to laugh, and saw the badge. The world went cold. The cuffs clicked. Now I'm slumped in the back of this patrol car, the vinyl seat sticking to my jeans, my head bowed. The dream is caving in. I'm waiting for you to dig me out.
