Awake

The man awoke before dawn

The alcohol was calling on

He walked down the hall

Trying not to stumble and fall

And he came to a door

Feeling a fear he had never felt before

He looked inside to see a mirror

He saw his face had grown wearier

Vomit covered his chest

Purple skin around his neck

He walked back to bed

Only to find he had been dead
