Think About That

Ramirez despised the manipulative American. "Two weeks of torture, Jorge," the other man cajoled. "Think about that."

He'd done his best to lock those thoughts in a vault with other memories that threatened to tear his world apart. Seeing Archuleta's remains filled his heart with lead, weighing him with guilt. Had his partner thought of happier times and cursed while fighting their handcuffs? Remembered sweet torments they'd joyfully perfected on one another? Wished Ramirez was there in his place?

A fly, drowned, in his wineglass. He poured it onto the floor and sipped sour grapes, trying not to think.
