„Zeke, can we stop at the book store, I want to buy a coloring book and some crayons.“

„A what???“

„It's nothing wrong with it.“ Casey huffed defiantly. „This book is for adults, and my shrink says it might help me to get back control over my life.“

Zeke pulled off the road, turning around to look at him. „You do waste your time with a stupid shrink?“

„After all, what happened with Marybeth? Yes, I need to talk with someone. Not everyone is such a cool ass as you are.“

„Who says that I am? I just don't think that a coloring book will help me to deal with my nightmares.“

Casey blinked, surprised. „So, what are you doing when it gets too bad?“

„Party. Booze, sex, and scat.“ Zeke smirked. „Not your way, I guess. But maybe it would help to talk with someone who can understand? Who not secretly thinks that you are a freak with too much phantasie.“

„No one wants to talk about it. Everyone just tries to move on.“

Zeke hesitated only for a short moment. „Come by whenever you want. Maybe we can help each other.“
