August 2022 Fiction Contest: Resurfacing Trauma

This tipsiness I had come to associate with long nights sipping on champagne and aged wine never ended with lips parched, covered in sand and vomit. From afar, I watched Mr. Goldman walk along the rocky coastline in his ravaged suit. He left behind billowing clouds of cigarette smoke that reminded me of the fog that had cost us our yacht, now scattered along the jagged rocks.
