Chapter 131: I Think I Am Finally In
....
Tomorrow, [The Hangover] will hit theaters for its full box office run.
Which meant the big pre-release showing. 70mm screen, packed house, first public screening, and obviously everyone who mattered was supposed to be there.
But the captain of the ship.... wasn't there.
He wasn't anywhere near the venue.
Instead, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, one leg stretched out, the other bent - his back resting against something rough and worn.
It is a gravestone.
A quiet graveyard stretched around him, hushed and windless, the kind of place untouched by time or noise. And behind him, nestled carefully at the base of the stone, was a bouquet unlike any other.
Blue Himalayan poppies.
Just like their name, they are Rare, with bright and sky-blue petals while soft gold in the center. Almost fake-looking, like something painted in only a dream.
Overally, the flower seemed the kind that doesn't belong in a place like this.
But his mother loved them.
