Are you taking any
medication?
‘Yes. Alcohol.’
Oh?
‘It helps ward off the incipient insanity.’
Is this something you
should talk to a doctor about?
‘No.’
Bloody cheek! She sounded like my old English teacher. I
wish I’d said: ‘I take it under the supervision of a qualified leprechaun,
through a catheter on reverse thrust.’
That’s the difference between writing and living. You can
always add things later to a written work, but in real life you rarely get a
second chance. (Until somebody else asks me the same question, that is. Then I’ll
be ready.)
