A trip to hell and back - White Lightning - part two
I let the tabs of acid sit on my tongue for a few minutes until an unpleasant taste started an assault on my taste buds. "You get more out of it if you let it dissolve on the roof of your mouth" I was told so I held out until I'd had enough and washed it down with a coke. The coffee table / bong was now on the go as well as a few spliff's, I felt chilled and happy sitting there, we made jokes and chatted, some telling brief stories of experiences on trips while others laughed heartedly. I felt very laid back, the sofa seemed to be hugging me as I sank deeper into its embrace. My mind must have drifted of whilst listening to yet another story being told from across the room, whilst in this far away place I noticed I was being nudged, the nudges grew stronger until I snapped out of my thoughts to notice the person sitting next to me offering the end of a tube fitted with a mouth piece to me. The tube lay across my lap to the bong within which was a burning bud smouldering away, I tried to take the mouth piece being offered to me but my arms seemed like ten tonne weights, I felt confused by this at first and just sat there looking at the tube, "Nick......Nick...... You alright?" For some reason I just seemed to snap out of the trance like state I was in, "Yeah, Yeah, I'm ok........I was............? I don't know, nevermind, what's up?" "Do you want a hit on this or what?" "Shit yeah" I took the tube, put it to my mouth and pulled hard, it was really smooth, I felt the smoke slip through my mouth and fill my lungs but there was no burn whatsoever, I smiled. I eventually and begrudgingly passed it on, but only once the burning bud had been smoked to ash. I sat back into the sofa to watch and listen to the entertaining chatter and banter filling the room, I felt so chilled I could have melted into the sofa and slept for an eternity.
I started to notice my vision changing, well I say changing but it was like I'd been watching everything before me through a window, my face squashed up close against the glass, a crack seemed to zig zag across my view, then another, and another. It was like looking out on the world around me through a shattered windscreen, Wow! This was cool, I thought about the effect the acid was having on me so far, I never imagined it could be this cool. I don't know how long we'd been there, my sense of time had been completely lost somewhere in my confused brain, but after what seemed like only maybe half an hour but could well have been two or three we were turfed out by a now worried live in chef, apparently two of my friends had wandered downstairs to the kitchens en route to the bathroom and in the state they were in had made a mess of the place.
We'd all started to feel the effect of the acid as we left and as we stumbled out the door into the evening the effects must have been obvious to anyone that happened to see us. I'm not at all sure how, but we then split into two groups, myself and two others wandered off in the direction of McDonald's but once there neither of us had the balls to go inside, it was packed full of families tucking into rubber burgers and cardboard french fries, talking about the movie they'd just seen in the neighboring cinema. Between the two buildings was an alley leading to the rear of these buildings and on to a row of condemned houses that had recently been designated for demolition to make way for a multi story car park. One side of the alley was brick the other was a huge stretching plate glass window into the belly of the McDonald's. We stood in the alley, the other two were itching to go somewhere, get out of sight. I agreed, paranoia was kicking in, I felt real weird! There was a squat we sometimes visited amongst the row of condemned houses to escape prying eyes when we wanted a smoke. "Hey why don't we go to the squat" I suggested, "Yeah good idea" one of them replied, "C'mon then". As I went to walk I foolishly looked into the plate glass window, as I said earlier the restaurant was full of families, and they were all looking at me! I became transfixed, my feet glued to the ground my head stuck firmly facing the hoard of people some munching away some looking straight at me, one by one they looked up and straight at me until everyone of them was starring right back at me. My friends had gone, I was stuck there and I was starting to get pretty scared. "Hey Nick, what you doing?.......I thought we were going to the squat?" They'd walked off and left me, they were oblivious to the fact that I hadn't followed and only noticed me missing once they were nearing the squat. "Yeah I know, I , I can't move!" They grabbed my arms and marched me away from my hellish situation, I felt so relieved, I really was starting to panic, why couldn't my feet move? why were they starring at me? Aghhhhhhhh!!
We got to the squat, and that's when things started to get really really weird.
