Marion opened a bottle of whisky and poured full glasses for everyone.
Randy raised his glass and said, "To Caleb."
"To Caleb," the others echoed.
Erica, known for her drinking prowess, downed her whisky at one go. Debra followed suit, though she wasn't
used to drinking strong spirits. Marion was the last to drink, finishing his with a straightforward ease.
The four of them sat around the table, staring at the dishes spread before them.
Erica clicked her tongue. "Honestly, how did Caleb get to his age eating this kind of junk?"

Erica pointed to the empty plates,
wobbling as she spoke. "The

perfect to go with beer."
"But for me," Randy added, "the pizza was the best. It always remindsof home."
He reached for another bottle of whisky, his flushed face glowing under the starry night sky.
"To Caleb. Rest in peace," he said before smashing the bottle on the ground.
Erica grabbed her bottle and followed suit. "Caleb, rest easy."
Marion finished his whisky, then picked up a bottle and smashed it hard against the ground.
