ballast [luck]

i was so drunk i was beyond drunk.
transcending drunk.
i had inadvertantly perfected the chemical ratios inside my body, neutralizing everything.
human beings have rarely functioned on this level.
there was a heavy coating of ice blanketing every surface.
even the normals, the sober folk, were having trouble walking.
i didn't even walk. i glided, soared, across everything in one continuous, slowly evolving motion.
my brain was dimmed but my feet were completely in tune, communicating with the ice in ways i would never understand.
my legs a perfect machine of balance and timing.
