Book Five: Dortju’s Pheonix

Chapter 1: Dortju Arises

“Dortju your about to get a serious ass kicking, what the fuck is this!”

“Drink makes it that your problems still piss you off but not give a fuck about them. Weed makes you think they aren’t important. On heroin they don’t exist. In religion one get’s a hit from thinking one knows it all. In politics it’s an idealistic kick. In business it’s greed. Through all of the above their is also power over others and that perhaps is the worse vice one can desire. Having a happy family is ones best chance at balance and happiness in a level playing field, the rest has to be confusing to make it work.”

“Fucking whatever! Bathrooms there! Get the fuck in it before I drag you!”

“O for fuck sake, just pass a beer from the fridge, put the kettle on and let relax a bit and ease into the day.”

“Ceilidh will be here in ten mins!” It was a lie but he deserved it.

“Chani get this shit cleared. I’ll be back in five.” He ran off to the shower. It took him 8 mins, including scrapping the razor over a face not ready for it and a few cold splashes of water, to emerge to find Chani in his seat with her fingers up at him. He wanted to kill her for the moment and a wee quiet voice reminded him he needed looking after as she had just done. Ceilidh was no where near coming.

“Fuck you bitch! Coffee.”

“Milk and two cheers.” Her sweetness… she might end up catching the coffee, he got on with it and found an aspirin and gave his coffee an extra scoop. Took a rare couple of sugars in it.
