Antonio Gets Virtually Drunk, and Gets Even

• • •

He heads into the kitchen and grabs a bottle of tequila and a glass. He locks his bedroom door and starts rearranging furniture. Chairs overturned, pictures crooked, books … he could do a selfie of him chewing up his homework! 

He pours a glass and starts composing, laughing to himself. The last scene is the empty bottle, and incoherent scribbles nearly covering the screen.

Ready to upload, Antonio discovers something else that’s already blowing up online. He’s sorry he looked, but he can’t stop himself—it’s nude snaps of Vanessa, looking mad drunk, uploaded in the last hour. After a few minutes, he gets sick of the comments about “that thot,” and actually powers off his iPad.

Antonio realizes that he’s not going to post his Tales of Tequila after all. It’s suddenly clear to him that drinking is not funny. When it hurts, it can harm just like any other weapon.
