Mike Zinner hardly ever drank. Which, at most cases, meant that when he did drink, he got shitfaced.
Short and underweight, unused for great intakes of booze – it was only too easy to get the boy drunk. It was a sight to see, some might say – made the poor little escape artist into… an actual person. He didn’t even seem half as anxious and became a whole lot more talkative, friendlier – his smiles even seemed more earnest (which was exactly the reason why he tried to avoid it at most times, mind). It wasn’t too big a surprise, considering the circumstances, that the other freaks had turned it into some sort of a contest amongst themselves – see who could get poor little Mikey boy to drink – and who could get him to drink the most.
He could barely keep himself standing up straight by the time he trudged back to his caravan, a stagger in his step -- or, well, so he thought.
So he thought, until he was awoken by a sharp, crippling pain in his left leg, followed by a terrifying cracking sound and the noise of shouting.
He made nothing more than a small, pitiful little noise at the pain in his limb, cringing and backing away when Kenya practically leaped towards him and grabbed him by the shoulders.
He thought he had said that aloud. He tried talking -- though no sound came from his lips. Just what the heck was she doing in his trailer? He had a quick glance around, wide deerlike eyes darting from one place to another -- okay, not his trailer. Then just where the heck was he and what the heck was he doing there?
”I --“ his voice high-pitched and broken as his gaze returned to the girl before him, bloodshot eyes gaped as wide as could be. “I thought this was my trailer.”
His leg was broken, bone shattered – God only knew to how many pieces. Not his first time but goddamn, the pain never ceased to shock him.
