The room was filled with a tangible sense of dread, as the flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows on the walls.

In that moment, I knew that I was truly lost in a nightmare beyond sobriety.

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the cracks in the curtains, I stumbled out of bed in a haze of confusion. My head throbbed, my mouth was parched, and my vision blurred.

During Janet’s cousin’s chaotic wedding, sobriety became just a rumor, sandwiched between the open bar and Uncle Vic’s attempts at the cha-cha. Those few who clung to sobriety watched in horror as Aunt Patty climbed the cake, wishing for earplugs and perhaps an invisibility cloak.

At the wedding reception, Uncle Barry’s newfound sobriety was a terrible curse. Without his usual pleasant haze of champagne, he was painfully aware that the best man’s speech was plagiarized from a cheesy film and the large ice sculpture was melting into the shape of a disgruntled goose.
