Trouble Remembering
by Nina Moritz
Awake yet?
Who is this?
I can tell you what happened last night..
You don’ remember anything do you?
Who is this?
Let’s say I’m a friend
Who are you?
Do you want to know?
Nothing happened, I had a bit too much to drink that’s all.
Happens to everyone
Really ? You didn’t wake up with mud all over you and splinters in your hands?
What are you talking about?
Trust me, I’m a friend, I know.
I know you’re freaked out
But I can help you
What is this?
What is the last thing you remember?
I was at Jeremy’s party, getting a beer.
A lot of things happened after that..
Remember when you went upstairs?
Jeremy was in his room. He was alone and crying.
What? no..
He told you about something, something unbelievable..
What?
He told you he had hurt someone a long time ago
And that he was thinking of doing it again. That it was in his blood. He was anxious.
What ? How did he hurt someone?
He told you he was thinking of hurting your girlfriend.
What? Jeremy would never do that!
That he had death drives...
You got into a fight, you told him to sober up, that he was being crazy.
But he would not, he told you he wanted to smash her head, he wanted to knock her teeth out.
What are you talking about? You’re crazy..I’m blocking you.
You got really mad, you threw him on the floor.
But his head hit the bedside table..
Don’t you have blood on your clothes too?
I must have cut myself..
But you don’t have a cut…
I’m not a violent guy
I know you are not, but what he was saying was just so horrendous..
He told he had hurt someone before, when he was younger, that he took pleasure in doing so.
The kid was left with a bad scar for the rest of his life.
I think he told me about that once…But it was an accident no?
And when he hit his head, it went quiet.
He wasn’t breathing anymore..
What are you talking about? that never happened
You just waited for people to leave, you locked the door. They thought Jeremy was sleeping.
Then you cleaned up everything with bleach.
You put his body in a plastic bag, and you buried him in the woods..
What are you talking about?
You even left a note, copying his handwriting, saying he was running away..
Why are you saying this to me? How would you know that?
Because I know everything.
It’s not too late to go to the police.
I understand what you did, Jeremy was dangerous.
I’m sure the police can understand too.
That’s bullshit, I’m calling him…
Turn on the TV, you’ll see
OMG, he’s missing
Told you..
What have you done?
Me ? nothing.. You did this on your own.
I cannot believe this is true.
OMG, I have to come forward.
I think it’s the right thing to do too.
You know, I remember him hurting a kid when he was younger..
He had told me about it before but it was an accident, that’s what he told me.
That he pushed a kid for fun but the kid fell on a sharp thingy, can’t remember what.
On a fire hose, and he did it on purpose. The kid almost died.
Something is wrong..
I do remember someone handing me a beer..
Someone with a bad scar on his face..
I don’t know about that
I’m dyslexic, I could not have written a note, especially if I was so drunk.
Who are you ? What have you done to Jeremy?
What have you done?
I’m going to the Police.
Yeah, do that!
Oh I am!
Tell them you don’t remember anything. It’s a great alibi.
It won’t take them long to find your fingerprints are all over the place, your clothes full of his blood and mud, and bleach under your fingernails.
You’re framing me!
I’ll find out who you are, I’ll show them this conversation!
Yeah, cause you could not have bought a pre paid phone and make up a fake conversation.
Great plan!
I can’t believe this, I am not going down for this..
Oh but you are..Be careful who you take your drinks from next time..
