“Codeine” by Jason Isbell

Jason Isbell has written us a story. It goes like this. “There’s one thing I can’t stand. This bar and this cover band—trying to fake their way through ‘Castles Made of Sand’. There’s one thing I can’t take. The sound that a woman makes about five seconds after her heart begins to break. She should be home by now but she ain’t (pause) because one of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine. One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine. One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine.” So on and so forth.
