Three Day Bender

You wake up and find your bank balance in the red.
It doesn't make sense but then not much does this morning. Your head hurts. Your eyes are bloodshot. You can't remember who's room your in, let alone where your car keys went.
Something scratches at your brain like the dog when he has to pee. Nagging, insistant and full of urgency, at once annoying and painful.
You focus. Then it occurs to you.
The bank balance isn't red, its the bank ledger. Spattered in red, like your shirt and hands.
Then you remember something else is in your bed.
