I rose and made it halfway to the sink before, my mind so shot through with holes, I fainted and smacked off the countertop. My girlfriend screamed. I heard the scream before losing consciousness which was strange, a sharp-trauma’ed mind taking that long to fade, like an old screen, with the dot in the middle, rather than snapping off, like a light. I awoke, blood pouring between my forehead and temple. We don’t have a good name for that spot — a colloquial name, I mean; a doctor would say pterion but it’d be annoying if we did that. Our landlord had installed white plastic flooring. Luck. Everything wiped up. I suppose blood would wipe off a hardwood floor more easily (I’m comparing to grout and tile but who wants to cook on cold tile?).
