What he wants

“Here it goes. I can feel it kicking in.” John said as he felt his lips beginning to go numb. He was so tired of being tired. All he wanted to do was live a normal life without any pain. He wanted all of his pain to go away, his physical pain, his emotional pain, all of it. He was so sick of fighting with his wife and his kids not listening to him when he told them to do something. What went wrong in his life that he deserved this type of situation? He was raised in a good Catholic home with morals and ethics, he had always been taught to treat a woman with respect and he did exactly that for the past 17 years of his marriage.
“I think that my wife is the devil, she has to be, why else would she treat me like a pile of crap?” he asked rhetorically as he looked at his 8-ball of cocaine. As he rolled the dollar bill up he made two more lines to snort. As the cocaine went up his nose he could feel his pain going away. He put the dollar bill on the mirror with the cocaine and sat back and relaxed as he felt the drop in the back of his throat. He grabbed a cigarette out of his crumpled pack, lit it, and enjoyed the feeling of no pain. What he had wanted was finally gone, for awhile anyways, he had no pain physically or mentally.
