The Cusp

Worst Birthday Ever
Recall: 5/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

It's my birthday, and my friends are throwing me a bash in a tropical location. Unfortunately it was a last minute affair, and this unexpected trip has wiped me out financially. Good thing they are buying the drinks.

The party is on the beach, but when I get there, a storm breaks which forces us indoors. I go back to my room, but nobody else came with me. They all took off elsewhere, and I'm stuck here with no money. So I go wander the grounds of the hotel. There is a little restaurant I walk into where I see two girls I know working there. I'm surprised to see them, but when I say hi, they don't acknowledge me.

I need to take a dump, so I find a toilet, which is pretty much in public but covered with a blanket like a child's fort. I go in and am about to shit when Gary finds me. He keeps pulling the blanket off, typically oblivious as to why I would find that annoying. I finally lose patience and punch him in the face.

-Gary and I ride a motorized skateboard back to the hotel, but the road there is full of mud and we have to get off.

-I'm in some sort of cafe or bar when I run into a generic dream girl I know and used to have a crush on. She leads me on then goes off to be with some jerk. I know he's a jerk because he ties her up on stage, berating her verbally and abusing her physically. Nobody else around is even paying the slightest attention because his father is in charge of the army, so he can pretty much do as he pleases.

I see the jerk has a broken leg and has left his crutch on the ground, and I figure I can beat him with his own crutch. I go up on stage, grab the crutch, but the guy has moved off into the wings of the stage where there is no room for me to swing at him. I try to jab him a couple of times with the butt end of the crutch but miss. The guy is flabberghasted, and yells out "Do you know who I am!?!?!?". He goes on about the power he has and he's right. If I beat the crap out of this guy, I'll never make it out of this country. They guy seems impressed that I had the balls to actually try to attack him, and is leaving the girl alone now, so I leave before things get any worse.
