Your tongue feels stuck to the roof of your mouth and your head throbs in pain while you try to remember last night. Your stomach is sick as you remember fragments of a room you had never been in before and a casual acquaintance who now seems too familiar. During the day fearful images intrude as you worry about STDs, pregnancy, and definitions of rape. But you're not really sure. It looks like yesterday's news.
Some student somewhere is dead.
Too much alcohol, too quickly. Left alone to sleep it off. But the name in today's paper is different than the one in yesterday's, is different than the one in tomorrow's. Blood alcohol level way too high. Student dead in an alcohol-related car accident.
