Amidst the Current

Johnny remembers a CPR class he had to take a year or so ago. Mostly he remembers the instructor with the weird hair who always spoke like all of his sentences ended in exclamation points. He had a dummy who he calledNancy—and, honestly, what a fucking creep—which the students were directed to practice on.At the time, Johnny hadn’t taken the lesson seriously. He fucked around withNancyand wasn’t thinking about anything more important than trying to make his friends laugh. He’s pretty sure he failed that class.Right now, he wishes more than anything that he’d paid more attention.
