I headed downstairs and made my way to my dad’s liquor cabinet. I mixed myself a strong screwdriver. I wished to get buzzed, and so I downed half th... screwdriver quickly.Soon I’d finished the rest of the screwdriver, and under its influence I decided to throw caution to the wind. I decided I would head out into the backyard nude. I was actually hoping that perhaps Mr. Rushman would get a glimpse of me. But first I made myself another strong drink and headed back upstairs.
