Out Of State. Out Of Mind ?

" In the blink of an eye, " it, flashed, before him. Which should be satisfying. But, was not. In fact, he " twitched " ! This reflex action did cause him some concern, it must be said. He had never experienced anything, like it. And, hoped not to again ? The prescribed remedy in his mind was to get a stiff drink. This would surely help. And, it did ? It, had to really. How could you cope otherwise, with events such as these ?
Mind you, it was a certain amount of booze which had caused circumstances to escalate out of control. The inability to stop the " lady " taking him where he once promised not to go, was somewhat put down to him having slightly more than anticipated. Considering, environmental " factors " ! He, could blame an intoxicated " state " alone... but would " she " wear, it ?
The repercussions of events being misinterpreted did not bear thinking about. Hence, the reaction to remembering " last night " being the way it was. He hoped it was just a " passing fancy " ! But, knew with his fortune, and life history, the chances of that being the case, were remote. Thus, there was now to be contemplated the notion of yet again his past " coming back, to haunt him. " An ordeal, none could take lightly ?
The acceptance of his character had happened years before. And, the consequences. So, why was this wander off the " straight, and narrow " troubling ? As, he sipped his " cure " for disconcerting analysis of recent times he knew something here was different. He gazed into open space ! Realizing, it was her. A swearing terminology, only, seemed relevant.
How could he fall for this " blatant hussey, "  even relating to a one-night-stand ? When already having been warned about her. Reputations do count for something. He was used to " wild cards " but, had he bitten off more than he could chew ? The answer being the way it was, obviously, he would be unsettled. Who would it not effect ? And, there lay, the route of " the problem " !
She, would find out. Would she not ? Yes. And when she did, he would be subjected to an interrogation, like no other. Not so much because of what happened. But, because of becoming involved with " this sort. " He envisaged his examination being centred around his selection of partner being reflected upon. As a response to a weakening of the partnership he most enjoyed, and respected. She, knew what he could be like, on the " odd " occasion. However, would she consider this a " step, too far " ? Requiring, " womanly-appropriate " judgemental strategies, and, action ? Beyond the normal, that is.
He, knew she had to discover his " indiscretion " as in the case of all the rest. Due, to his nature. And, social setting choice for advances, into " enemy territory " ! Why was this ? It was too late to change, anything.
The task was now to make sure his mind was in a fit " state " to accommodate every punishment he may receive, to re-establish levels of trust. With someone who was used to a certain degree of unquantifiable " behaviour " but, had boundaries as to what could be tolerated. For, the sake of pride more than anything !
He, suddenly, focused on his situation. He, suddenly, fully understood the " Gravity " of the situation. He, suddenly, realized a " line had been crossed " ! His, deteriorating strength, on the way to another " tipple, " told the whole story. His, reliable foundations had been shaken, to the core. He, now, was in new territory.
Could he learn from this ? Would he be given the chance to ? He, gasped. He, knew his life was now threatened. Every breath was difficult.
Was he able to stand the strain ? To survive. As he perceived, he should be.
The conclusion brought the deathly answer. No more.
