it back for him to do the same,

close my eyes to ride the giant rush.

Trey is generous. Within a few minutes,

I have climbed to a very tall buzz.

So what do you think? Was I lying?

“It’s the best meth I’ve ever done.”

He touches my knee. You want more?

“Absolutely.” [And more glass, too.]

The price drops a lot for a quantity.

Heat pulses at my temples. “Like…?”

We could get a half for eight hundred.
