I woke up to the sound of a dog barking outside. I jumped out of my bed still naked, I opened up the window. Leaning out I screamed aloud,

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU FUCKING USELESS DOG!"

I opened my eyes to see the dog looking at me with a confused face, but it was silent so I leaned back and shut the window.

"Fuck, GREAT, now I'm up." I wiped my face then walked to the fridge.

Grabbed a beer and sat back down on the couch and turned on the tv.

The news was on so I left it.

There seems to be some virus release somewhere far away, "who cares!"

I looked over and seen a old swimsuit magazine an older issue but this one never failed my tastes, I started to play with my hard penis admiring the curves of the fine black lady on the center fold out then I really started to get turned on when I turned the next page and see the brown mexican girls feet in the air while she layed on the beach towel her black thong barely leaving anything to the imagination. I came on the floor. What a release.

My attention caught the Tv again when the news anchors brought up a man found dead in a hospital calling it suicide.

"Why would anyone do that?"

The man killed himself with his piss tubes makes no sense.

I shut the tv off and walked back to the window. The sun was just coming up and the trees in the distance had just the right sunlight on them. I finished my beer and grabbed my package of cigarettes. I opened the pack,

One left, damn. I gotta go to the store.

I put the last cigarette in my mouth, then lit the end to inhale all its toxic chemicals.

Then exhaled the smoke into the air.

"Oh yeah that hit the spot "

I walked up to my old jeans on the floor picked them up to put on, then put on my black muscle t-shirt,

I started to walk the reservation dirt road towards the store.

The sun was in the sky but I could see rain clouds in the distance.

Afew cars passed by then one truck stopped to pick me up.

The driver rolled down his truck window.

"Hey Nathan, get in, I'm on my way to the store."

"Sure, just the place I'm going."

I jogged around the truck and opened the passenger door.

"Eh! Planetary Wisdom- Moon War I Like this Country Song."

I shut the door after getting in. And down the gravel road we drove.

"What's up Jered! Thanks for picking my ass up."

"No problem, So what's at the store more booze?"

"You guessed it! That and toilet paper."

"Then where to after?"

"Fuck if I know, probably back home."

"Shit well I will drive around with you."

"Drink too?"

"Fuck yeah!"

"Cool!"

We took the long old dirt reservation road and finally got to the store, which was just outside the reservation. The store was a rundown trailer renovated and turned into a store.

It had booze, smokes, some convenience store snacks and one gas pump.

I walked in heard the bell ring behind me

as the door closed.

Straight line walk for me to the booze fridge. I opened it up.

"What the f!" Where's all the beer?"

"No beer till Thursday." The store clerk mentioned

"What the fuck world is this." I replied

"What do you mean?" Jered questioned

I shook my head then spoke up "okay I'm going to need some of the fire spirits."

The store clerk turned behind him and grabbed a 60 pounder of jack whiskey.

"That will do!" I said then gestured to the packs of cigarettes again.

"Make it two."

"Nathan you gonna drink two?" Jered with a wide eyed expression on his face

"Naw, you're gonna have one to yourself Jered."

"I also need a package of cigarettes." I pointed at the blue pack I wanted.

The store clerk grabbed my kind and rang it through.

"$120.00 please."

I threw 200 on the table.

"$80.00 change thankyou have a nice day."

I grabbed my cash and walked out with my smokes and booze.

I'm not sure what Jered all got.

But I hopped back in the truck and opened the bottle and took a nice swig.

"Woo!"

Damn that was the one.

I watched Jered walk back to the truck with a bag of some food.

"Let's go to the plains!"

"Wooooo!"

I let out a warrior hoot.

And took another huge swig from the bottle.

The fire water sure warmed me up.

I felt the drag of time right away.

Driving down the road staring out into the land the wind in my long black hair.

"You can just stare out there man and see it."

"See what Nathan?"

"Why, our ancestors chose to live out here."

"Ohh ….yeah…"

"This place made us, creation made us here."

"Yeah I hear you."

"Do you?" I opened and handed Jered his bottle.

Jered takes the bottle.

And chugs a deep drink.

" Yes, that tastes good!" Jered wiped his face withe bottle in hand.

We drove along an old range road at a reasonable speed of 80km.

Taking drinks and being reminiscent of old times, living in the reservation.

Until we finally came to the end of the old road where we parked and continued to drink.

Playing tunes from a radio receiver that was a connected Bluetooth to Jared's phone.

"Yeah, I don't get why sometimes."

"Why what Nathan?"

"Why life has to be a tugeye."

"Yeah it can be a dick, for sure."

"Giving up, sometimes looks like the way to go cuz."

"Naw Nathan, there's plenty to go on for

Our ancestors died for this land for our people. When things got really hard they still never gave up that's why we're still here Nathan so find that fight in you and never give up that passion."

"Yeah you're right."

I took another drink, but deep down I hated the answer. But I only hated it cause Jered was right, I did need a change or I was looking at an early grave."

" I think tomorrow, I'm going to try to quit drinking."

"Hahahahaha"

"Shut the fuck up Jered, you tugeye."

"Hahahahaha"

"Not funny asshole, I'm serious I'm going to quit."

"Okay, Alright, you're gonna quit."

"Yes, tomorrow is gonna be a whole new start in Nathan's Life."

"How are you gonna start this new life?"

" I don't know maybe go into town ask for a nice job, find a girlfriend, a white one, I heard they are nice."

"Woah settle down, aunty slayer 9000"

"Hahah shut up!"

"But fuck, it would be nice."

I took another big drink.

Half way through the bottle it started to get a bit blurry a few more hours go by, next thing you know, we were driving into town again, then it was night, and I was hammered drunk, spinning, dizziness.

I woke up outside my Poor modular house, laying on the ground in the middle of the night, I turned over to look up at the sky from the ground.

The stars were beautiful, then I noticed a black triangle flying lower than the stars,

At first I thought my eyes were still adjusting, till the lights started to get closer then a light shot around me. And I was being lifted into the air and I screamed.

Once I was getting closer to the ship a door opened and I was lifted in to see black sleek suits and white reptilian heads one of them shot an taser to stun me out cold I felt the piercing of the rod ends poke into my chest then the volts of electricity flew through my bones sending me to the ground seizuring till I everything went dark.
