Summary
Mark hears this is what it’s like for addicts. Weaning themselves on and off and on again. He’s considered asking the prisoner, but he won’t risk the humiliation waiting to happen. Mark isn’t addicted. It’s not the coke, or the miasma of Everclear and bullshit Mark let Rex keep in his minifridge, or the home movies, or even the red red blood. There’s no particular thing he needs but to be kept from going still. Going quiet. Anything that keeps him moving, that’s his vice of choice, though the glimmer of his face over a dark screen in the pitch, promising underworld of night— the door to the office locked and double-bolted, but still, somewhere beneath him, fourth floor, unit A, somewhere around there:
a man to which inertia does not apply and all the laws of reality and physics cower from— there, a man to which all men sink towards or sprint from— the kind of guy who has never, ever known what it’s like to stay still, because lying in wait doesn’t count—
Certainly make it easier.
