We decided to take a trip with some friends of ours, Kristin and Ken. Kristin and Cathy were good friends through work, and had gotten married a few ...onths earlier. We went to Vail during the summer. We rented a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo for a few days. The plan was some hiking, biking, and just relaxing to get out of the Texas heat.The first couple days were great. We enjoyed the amazing weather, spending plenty of time outdoors. We ate great food, hiked, biked, and drank. The first. “Hello Pete”, Natalie said as she came out the back door. “Oh, I didn’t mean to interrupt”, Nat apologized.“Seventy-four, Ugh, seventy-five, Ahhh”, falling on my chest then rolling over, “Hi Natalie, you’re beautiful”.Nat smiling at me said, “Push-ups, what’s next sit ups, I’ll count, let’s go HT-1 move your ass!”“Ninety-nine, one-hundred, Whooo, Hell Yes!” Nat proclaimed as she started stripping her clothes then carefully laying them on the outdoor bar. Sweaty and naked I hugged and kissed. They were convinced it was something in the food, but James knew better. He knew that he had killed someone and almost killed two more. It would be a long time before his own questions were answered, and he had no one to help him.Returning to school was surreal. As he walked through the hallways, people would stop and stare, whispers followed him wherever he went. A few hardier souls asked him about that night, but he stuck with his story, telling everyone the same tale.A few days later, he saw. Either live your life or let it live you. There is no other choice. You have chosen a path of loneliness and misery; you have chosen to despise your abilities and to use them to set you at a distance from your fellow humans. You have no one to blame but yourself, Timothy Dayton, and your excuses are the marks of a pitiful and weak soul."I don't want to be this way," Timothy nearly sobbed.Then stop."How? How do I stop?"The darkness seemed to consider for a moment. Perhaps there is hope for you.
