The Trip

by ggfreak


I sat in a cold, dimly lit room. The small glass pipe filled with ash and about 50 grams of Dimethyltryptamine was laying, loosely, in my hand. The warm summer sun was shining through the curtains. I had done this this a few times before but only in small masses. I never had any major problems in life. A good childhood, long lasting friends to this day and a beautiful girlfriend, but I need more. I feel like there is no sense in my life anymore. I am just like the rest of the world. I need an experience. I was only brave enough to take small doses and got some pretty heavy visions but only bright shapes and abstract art, nothing to draw a message from.

I took my first inhale, it felt like razorblades in my lungs. After the third inhale I lost control of my body and just slumped down. The pipe fell to the floor and the sound of glass hitting the wooden floor rang amplified through my head. At first the shapes began to appear but I broke through and landed on a grass field, my mind dulled by the drug I just accepted it and stood up to move on. As soon as I moved the scenery changed to a forest with a opening in the middle in front of me. On the ground was a pond with big rocks surrounding it. On top I saw my girl friend, clothed in what seemed like vines. She looked like a nymph from Greek mythology. She was not alone. A satyr came up with a face looking a lot like my friend Josh. They started kissing and then more. My girlfriend mockingly looked at me during their act of love. I turned around and hoped for a change of scenery. I was angry for the first time during a trip. The next place was an old ship, a Brigg, a storm came on. In midst I got flung of by a heavy wave. Once underwater, the storm immediately stopped and looking at the ship a saw all my friends and family looking down at my sinking body but doing nothing. As I sunk deeper I noticed strange creatures around me. Big, terrifiying, but they didn't seem to notice me. After a while I reached the bottom and there I found a chest and in it was a letter but as I grabbed it it light up in a bright fllame and now I was surrounded by black rocks and flowing lava. I saw no way to escape so I just sat down.

I got buried under that flowing lump of fire but I didn't feel anything. It still was a trip afterall.

I was on the grass plains again and in front of me three things. A piece of wood, A letter and a black Rock. I woke up. The room was still the same, only now had the sun warmed up the room.

I didn't feel an impact at first but then it hit me like a fist and I just puked. I decided to go to my girlfriend, although I said to her I was working the whole day. The trip gave me a felling that something terrible was about to happen. When I came into her bed room I saw her satisfying my friend Josh and his piece, which looked like a piece of wood,hard and brown. When they noticed me, I was already out of the house before anyone could talk to me. She later send me a letter to apologise and to say it was over. I decided to get wasted in the pup. Late at night I strolled around, drunk as hell. A small gang tried to rob me but I ran away, they also must've been high or dunk because one threw a rock after me. I couldn't see it as it was black due to the lack of light. I hit me on the head and just slumped down. I am lying here now bleeding from the head, my phone at home, hoping that some will find me. I only now am realising that the three objects from my trip came into real life. It is funny how ones mind can sometimes aprehend things before they happen. So was the case with me. I wanted a change a I got it.

Hello Ashleymreid for a review. interesting read just have a few suggestions.

The paragraphs are packed with information.it would help if you broke some of that information up.As writers we try to be most descriptive, but then it becomes overly packed into one paragraph.Also watch your flow of events.
Small grammatical errors which you can fix, no biggy there.
Also i think if you can give more backstory of your main character, like why was he/she laying with meds in the hand.sick? drug abuser? likes the smell?
Also, what made his childhood so great? what makes his girlfriend so great? why did he/or she lie about being at work to his girlfriend instead of being truthful?
Overall good read i just like to know the character to get a fell of there situation.

I saw one lonely piece of writing and decided to check it out.
It is quite long so I will review and read at the same time.
-------

I sat in a cold, dimly lit room.
The small glass pipe filled with ash and about 50 grams of Dimethyltryptamine was laying, loosely, in my hand.

/ The small glass pipe , ( not nessesary comma ) filled with ash and about 50 grams of Dimethyltryptamine was laying looseling in my hand. ( even if laying is not the perfect word to use in this kind of situation)/

The warm summer sun was shining through the curtains.
I had done this this a few times before but only in small masses.

/ surely this is a mistake and you had written 'this' twice/

I never had any major problems in life.
A good childhood, long lasting friends to this day and a beautiful girlfriend, but I need more.

/ long-lasting not long lasting
Also, you had started in past tense so 'I needed more' is more suitable. /


I feel like there is no sense in my life anymore. I am just like the rest of the world. I need an experience. I was only brave enough to take small doses and got some pretty heavy visions but only bright shapes and abstract art, nothing to draw a message from.

/My life does not make sense sounds better but this is okay also.
Draw a message from?I do not get it so if you could explain, thank you in advance./

I took my first inhale, it felt like razorblades in my lungs.
/ this sentences could be torn to two sentences or united with an 'and' /


After the third inhale I lost control of my body and just slumped down.
The pipe fell to the floor and the sound of glass hitting the wooden floor rang amplified through my head.
At first the shapes began to appear but I broke through and landed on a grass field, my mind dulled by the drug I just accepted it and stood up to move on.

/At first the shapes began to appear but I broke throught and landed on a grass field when my mind dulled by the drug ( I do not understand why you use dulled now.I understand to use it for the person but for the mind..). I just accepted it and stood up to move on./








As soon as I moved the scenery changed to a forest with a opening in the middle in front of me. On the ground was a pond with big rocks surrounding it.
On top I saw my girl friend, clothed in what seemed like vines.

/girlfriend,right?
On the ground there was a pond with big rocks surrounding it.
I read out loud and I stopped after I moved..so maybe a comma is okay to be there./

She looked like a nymph from Greek mythology. She was not alone.
A satyr came up with a face looking a lot like my friend Josh.
They started kissing and then more. My girlfriend mockingly looked at me during their act of love. I turned around and hoped for a change of scenery.

/atleast from the feeling I am getting when you said 'and then more' you meant what you wrote in the next sentence so maybe connect them with a comma so this way the reader understands what you mean.
They started kissing and then more, she mockingly looked at me during their act of love.I turned around, hoping the scenery changes./

I was angry for the first time during a trip.
The next place was an old ship, a Brigg, a storm came on.

/ The next place was an old ship, a Brigg. A storm came on./

In midst I got flung of by a heavy wave. Once underwater, the storm immediately stopped and looking at the ship a saw all my friends and family looking down at my sinking body but doing nothing.
/ In midst I flung of by a heavy wave. Once underwater, the storm immediately stopped , and looking at the ship I saw all my friends and family looking down at my sinking body but they were doing nothing about it./




As I sunk deeper I noticed strange creatures around me.

/ As i sunk deeper, I noticed strange creatures around me./

Big, terrifiying, but they didn't seem to notice me.
After a while I reached the bottom and there I found a chest and in it was a letter but as I grabbed it it light up in a bright fllame and now I was surrounded by black rocks and flowing lava. I saw no way to escape so I just sat down.

/ ...I found a chest and in it there was a letter but as I grabbed it , it lighted in a bright flame. Now, surrounded by black rocks and flowing lava, I saw not way to escape so I just sat down. /

I got buried under that flowing lump of fire but I didn't feel anything. It still was a trip afterall.

/ I do not understand how the 'trip' is an explaination for everything./

I was on the grass plains again and in front of me three things.

/ ...in front of me, three things
or
..in front of me there were three things/

A piece of wood, A letter and a black Rock. I woke up. The room was still the same, only now had the sun warmed up the room.

/A piece of wood, a letter and a black rock. Then I woke up in the same room, the only thing that had changed was that the sun had warmed up the entire room. /

I didn't feel an impact at first but then it hit me like a fist and I just puked. I decided to go to my girlfriend, although I said to her I was working the whole day. The trip gave me a felling that something terrible was about to happen. When I came into her bed room I saw her satisfying my friend Josh and his piece, which looked like a piece of wood,hard and brown. When they noticed me, I was already out of the house before anyone could talk to me. She later send me a letter to apologise and to say it was over. I decided to get wasted in the pup.

I only now am realising that the three objects from my trip came into real life. It is funny how ones mind can sometimes aprehend things before they happen. So was the case with me. I wanted a change a I got it.
/ I just puked..just sounded off
bed room needs to be 'bedroom'

It is funny how one's mind can sometimes aprehend things before they even happen. So this was the case with me.
And the last sentence made me feel confused.
Anyways I hope I had helped and the plot is amazing even if it is kind of sad before of the betrayal.
Keep on writing!
