my friend is having a heart attack;
right now.
and i'm stuck in this dump without any way to get to the hospital... short of calling an ambulance myself and faking a heart attack!

...HE'S ONLY 27!

he called me before taking off
told me good-bye
very final-sounding
crying
pained

didn't say why...
Sounded to me like he was running from the fucking mafia!

i call back,
"heart attack monday...(fucker hid it from me) another today... it's not going away... bye"

he's only 3 monthes older than me!
...plus a few "Ultimate Cheeseburgers"...

HE'S ONLY 27!

We met in junior high.
He is the only friend from my school years i've kept.
He is my constant.
He is having a heart attack...
