Just What I Needed

Allan Onik

    I curled up on my shrink’s couch chewing Starburst. “Things have gotten a little...different since you started here last year. You’re acting a bit strange.”
    “What on Earth are you talking about?!” I asked.
    “What do you think has been a little odd?” The doctor began scribbling on his prescription pad.
    “When I sprinted through the mall?”
    “Yes?”
    “When I binged Enya on my CD player?”
    “What else?”
    “When my grades slipped?”
    “And?”
    “When I drove 90 in a 30 listening to trance?”
    “How about when you told me you wanted to go to Harvard even though you haven’t applied, it’s half way through senior year, and you haven’t won any varsity medals on your crew team?”
    “That too, doc.”
    “I’m going to recommend you for some medicine. It’s called Risperdal, an antipsychotic. It’s just what you need.”

    I stepped outside the office. The holiday snow was falling and the snow on the sidewalk seeped through the holes I cut into my Kung Fu shoes, making my socks get wet. I rattled the pill bottle.
    “They will help you to start sleeping better,” my Dad said.
    I rested in the back seat as we drove home.
