He flipped the bottle with a hairy paw and glugged with relish. The empty container slammed against the counter’s edge. Crystal splinters sprayed the air like tiny spikes. They pelted his wrist, and belly, and chin.

“What just happened?” Stretch rushed into the open bathroom.
Woolly swayed and bared his teeth, bleeding wrist gripped to his soggy midriff.
“You drank the Rubbing Alcohol?” Bloodshot eyes bulging, Firewater Man dropped to his knees and howled as glass penetrated skin.“You’re loco, man.” Stretch grabbed a towel to staunch the crimson flood. Woolly screamed. “I’ll call an ambulance. Don’t…”
Thump.
“…move.”
Crunch.

Aren’t you a sweetie! I try to avoid awards because there’s so much work to accepting one.
Because it’s from you, I shall s.w.i.p.e. it and put on my Razzle Dazzle shelf and on my page. I’ll put a link on the award so that a mouse hover will point to your page.
BTW, this time your Gravatar is your correct photo.

Action packed flash this is!
I’m a little confused, though. If Woolly is still swaying (i.e. on his feet) why does Firewater Man drop painfully to his knees? And I imagine it’s Stretch who is offering to call an ambulance?

Firewater Man is Woolly because he’s the one who drank that rubbing alcohol. Yes, Stretch calls ambulance. 😉
