SugarSkull Part One

i'd never been a party girl. never raised any hell.the most i'd done was smoke a joint or two.maybe pop a pill or two. but the night Eli introduced the monster to me, my life went down hill.

it was a late summer party,i looked my cutest and was ready to let loose a little. pulling me into a hug. " i have something to show you." maybe head was swimming from a nice alcohol buzz, so i just grabbed his hand and followed him to his old '92 Buick. i pulled a small mirror out of the glove box. it was accompanied by a razor blade and a bag of a yellowy powder. "w-what is that?"

his answered knocked my cute little buzz down. "crank. but trust me, its great. and ill take care of you." ive always trusted Eli. he's always protected me, never let me down. what would be different this time? i nodded my head in a quick agreement.

Eli took great care powdering the meth. when it was a fine line of snow, he handed me a straw and slowly directed me on what to do. one nostril then the next. i followed his directions smoothly. and breathed in a beautiful fire up my left nostril and then my right. my head starts soring. everything is catching my attention.

i feel confident. invincible. nothing can stop me. i see and hear everything. i feel like a queen. i can do anything. and with that, my lips are on Elis'.
