Protector for the night
He woke up with a splitting headache, aching muscles, and a sore thumb. What did he expect as he smelled the alcohol on his breath? But wait! What happened to his thumb?
He remembered visiting his friend at the hospital. Then, he went to the bar across the street. Of course, he had drinks, too many for his limit. After that, he had a chat with the girl. He could not even remember her name.
"Ooohhh!" He groaned out loud. He had never had a hangover since he was back in college. He never did find a solution in a bottle.
But last night, he was not thinking. He just wanted to dull his senses.
However, he remembered the girl leaving to join her friends. Eventually, the bartender refused to give him more drinks.
How did he go home? He was home. Right?
Immediately, he scanned his surroundings and found himself in his living room, lying on his couch. That explained his aching muscles. Unfortunately, he did not have a comfortable sofa.
