Another gem retrieved from an old draft. This has been the subject of many stories since last summer, but as far as I can tell I wrote this only a few days after the night in question (although I'm not sure exactly which night this occurred on) so it should be fairly accurate.
Me: Did we lose somebody?
Cole: Um, me, you, Gabe, and there's Cameron and Lukie up there.
Gabe: Wait, where's the sixth guy? Isn't he behind us?
Cole: That's what Gordon said last night! Ohhhhh...
Me: Good one. What fifth guy, Gabe? Lucas and Cameron are ahead of us. You, Cole and I are here. Two plus three makes five.
Gabe: Oh.
Cole: Gabe, who did you think was with us? What other guy did we take?
Gabe: ...Ed.
[Cole and I look at each other. Neither of us knows anyone named Ed.]
Cole: Who the hell is Ed?
Gabe: He's...[trails off into a blank stare]
Owlblink.
I think I spent the night on the floor of Cameron's van, and I vaguely remember listening to Chromeo's "Bonafied Lovin" at least six times before drifting off...I was pretty high though. Also: vans are cold to wake up in.
