Canasta

Ackley was awake so I went in. I was looking for the light but I couldn't find it. I eventually found it and Ackley jumped on my case. He started saying that I was still bleeding and all because of Stradlater. I didn't care I just asked him if he wanted to play Canasta, He was a Canasta fiend. I asked if I could sleep in Ely's bed, he was away for the weekend and I knew it. Ackley said no, he's a real Prince is Ackley kid. He really is. He let it drop and a coupla' minutes later he was snoring like mad. I kept laying in the dark trying not to think of Stradlater's date with Jane. I tried to wake him up but he slept like a rock. So I started shooting some bull about wanting to join a monastery and all. Then I was saying about then all being stupid bastards, soon as I said that old Ackley shot bolt up in bed. I told him I wasn't making any cracks about his religion but the atmosphere wasn't the same. So I left. I decided I was going to leave. The thing that depressed me the most was having to pack but I did. Then as I was leaving I yelled at the top of my voice "Sleep tight, ya morons!" I bet I woke up every bastard in the dorm.
