Last Call Excerpt:
Prelude
He stumbled into the men’s room in the bar. If he could just make it to the toilet in time, he knew that he’d feel better. He was sweating, trying to fight the pressure he felt and the pain in his arm. It seemed as if there wasn’t enough air on earth for him to breathe. The man used a partition to hold himself up as he stepped into a stall, and tried to balance himself to lower his trousers.
Whatever he’d eaten, he’d never felt it come on like this before. He was still fumbling for his belt when his legs gave way. One moment on his feet, the next lying on the floor of a public restroom. Rising to his feet crossed his mind, until he realized that it wasn’t possible. Too tired, too much pressure and a burgeoning pain radiating from his midsection to his shoulders and back made it unthinkable. He sensed darkness closing in from the sides, until he could only see what was directly before his eyes. Just before he flickered out, he looked through the louvers at the bottom of the outside door, seeing the shadow of two legs. The door swung open. Maybe help was on the way.
He died thinking that it was a ridiculous place for a man with his position to be found.
