Remus tried to stand up, but his legs were shaking so hard that they could not support him. He dropped the gun and ran his hands over his face, smearing vomit and blood through the sweat. Remus looked over towards the body on the ground, and a few tears trickled from his eyes. its been so many years, yet i still killed him without even thinking about it.
He took several deep breaths, then managed to stand up and walk out of the alley. near the entrance to the alley he found josh rolled up into a ball and trembling.
"come on kid, its over. you're ok." Josh sat up, but didn't say anything.
"come on, lets go back to my apartment and forget this ever happened." This time Josh nodded, and got to his feet.
"oh man, you really messed yourself, huh? its alright, its alright, we'll get you cleaned up. come on, lets go."
They walked away from the alley in silence, leaving the grotesque scene to fade into the night.
As they approached watershed heights, they heard a man cursing aloud about clowns, and did he say nuns? Well Remus didn't know shit about nuns, but he knew too much about fucking clowns. Now it was time to blow those images out of his head. Remus took Josh up to his apartment, and while Josh showered and changed, Remus went out and bought another bottle of hard liquor, vodka this time.
The next morning, neither of the two could remember anything about the night before.
