Drugs


I followed Patrick down the pier, past about a million restaurants and candy stands mixed in with gift shops. He turned down a small opening between buildings that was really too small to be considered an alley.

At the end of it there was a set of old, wooden, barnacle ridden stairs, which we also went down. We were now below the pier, walking across slippery rocks to a group standing around a fire laughing way too loudly.

“What are we doing here?” I asked, the smart girl in me peeking through.

“Showing you Bayside’s true colors,” Patrick said with a sly smile. My pulse speed, and my hands were sweating. I wiped them on my jeans as we got closer to the group, then I smelled it.

It wasn’t a scent you could forget, in fact, those exposed to it
were often more susceptible to that scent. I and was one of them.

“Are they smoking pot?” I asked.

“That’s not all they’re doing,” Patrick answered, smiling again.
Not only was the smiling getting annoying, but it was beginning to freak me
out a bit.

“What else are they doing?” I asked.

“I’ll get you a menu when we get up there.”

“A menu?” I said skeptically.

“Of course, this is Rick’s place.”

“Rick’s place?”

“Best restaurant in Bayside.”

This dude had to be kidding.

“Oh my god,” I said under my breath.

“Scared?” Patrick asked.

“More curious,” I said.

A guy dressed in a black tee-shirt and jeans walked up holding
a piece of paper in his hand.

“Hey Rick,” he said, “new chick?”

“Yup,” Patrick… ‘Rick’, said, “set us up.”

The guy led us to a rock near the fire, right in the middle of the
crowd, and oh my God, it was a druggies paradise. I wasn’t a druggie, by
any means, but I could still appreciate the sheer brilliance in the whole
idea. It was the kind of thing my mom would have loved. And I would have
resented it.

I looked at the paper in my hand, it had every conceivable drug
listed, all with obscene prices and sizes I didn’t quite understand.

“What’s with all of this?” I asked.

“The best damn thing in the world,” he answered.

“Fuck,” I said, shaking my head.

“What?”

“Heroin? Meth? This is some messed up shit,” I answered.

“You ever had it?”

“No,” I answered, “my mom did though.”

“Oh, bad times?”

“You have no idea,” the guy we’d seen earlier came up and
dropped a bunch of stuff in-between me and Rick, “then again, maybe you
do.”

“There you go dude.”

“Thanks,” Rick said.

“I’m not doing any of this,” I said, motioning to the pile
between us.

Rick smiled again, the next thing I remember I was puking up
my organs, Rick was laughing in the background.

:idea: Part four Coming soon. :idea:
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett
