Chapter 7- UNFINISHED!!!

A tiny bit of light came through from the shower curtains the divided mine and Ackley’s room, I went in and it was pretty dark, I whispered in the darkness to Ackley, asking if he was awake, I knew he wasn’t but I was trying to wake him. When he was awake I asked him where the light was, when I flicked the light on he put his hands up so it wouldn’t hurt his eyes. When he saw me he asked “what the hell happened to you” I just said that I had a little goddam tiff with Stradlater, and then went on to ask him if he felt like playing a little Canasta. But he still went on about my goddam face, telling my I was still bleeding. I persisted about playing Canasta. He started shouting about what time it is and that he had work in the morning. He started asking about the fight but I got out of answering by saying that by saying that it was a long story and I didn’t want to bore him. We shot the bull for a while, then he asked again what the hell the fight was about. I didn’t answer him. All I did was, I got up and went over and looked out of the window. I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.
