Narrative
Earl "Smokey" Griggs stumbled out of the county jail, his breath reeking of stale beer and bad decisions. Darla Mae, his long-suffering sister, leaned against her Buick, arms crossed.
“What now, Earl?” she snapped as he climbed in.
He burped and slurred, “Ain’t my fault this time, Darla. The jukebox at The Rusty Nail was playin’ my song, and I just… got inspired.”
Darla glared. “Inspired to ride the mechanical bull naked?”
Earl grinned. “I thought it’d be funny!”
“It wasn’t funny when you knocked over three tables and scared the Johnsons’ Pomeranian into the dartboard!”
Earl shrugged. “Sheriff Ponder overreacted. A man’s got a right to have fun.”
“You puked in her hat, Earl.”
He squinted. “That’s what that was?”
As Darla drove home, Earl passed out mid-mutter, while she muttered prayers that he’d someday sober up—or at least run out of bars to get banned from.
