Oh my god. That shit is so good. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAtT9FC5JISL
I can barely walk down the drag to the church steps, where most of us drag rats congregate. The church took up half the block and had an ancient look to it. Its stone bricks gave it the look of a medieval castle right out of King Arthur or Game of Thrones. It gets creepy at night when you're the only one at night. I swear I've heard voices during those lonely hours—or it could easily be the drugs. I hear it's beautiful inside though, but I've only seen the outside front steps. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAGauFnzS3Z2
I can't even keep my eyes open to make out where I was heading. My face feels blank with two tiny slits for eyes, and a gaping hole for a mouth. Though there are no words coming out, just drool dribbling out of the corners. When I do speak it just comes out in slurs and moans. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAPnS0ssVEv4
Damn that was some good shit. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAnzxE9iqDW8
I somehow made it to the church. I don't remember how. I could recall being in the Taco Bell bathroom, fixing up, then running into a few jerks on the sidewalk. College faggots talking shit at me. If I weren't high, I'd have throw down without question. And now, I somehow made it to the church steps. I vaguely remember someone else yelling, other than those college pussies, but I couldn't figure out from who or where. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAe5NfZHg0df
I float in and out of consciousness. 732Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ur6y4DMEw
Wake up! Wake up! You look too conspicuous, I keep telling myself. 732Please respect copyright.PENANA6G3N1pMD0h
I opened my eyes as best as I could and realized I had a drink in my right hand. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAn9QOvV1shj
Fuck yeah!732Please respect copyright.PENANAD3MRUWKNPg
It was a Mountain Dew Blast from Taco Bell. I always use the Taco Bell bathroom. It's got a single stall for men and another for women. It's good because I can lock the door and take my time to fix up. If someone knocks, you yell, "¡Ocupado!" and you're good. So, that explains where the drink came from. Ahh, it was that damn cashier who hates me that was doing all the yelling. He knows what I do in the bathroom so he's always mouthing off in Spanish. I don't take any offense because I can't speak a lick of it. Shit, I can barely speak my native tongue. 732Please respect copyright.PENANA4itaC7f8AM
I took a huge gulp, swished it's berry flavor around then swallowed. I felt a slight pressure pushing into my forehead. I put my cold hand over it until it went away. Brain freezes feel funny on dope. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAVRWqfIo1CX
That had woken me up. I could actually see in front of me now. There was this really cute chick on a bench across the street. We caught eyes, but that meant nothing. The drag was always full of gorgeous girls. And just like the rest of them, she was way too good for the likes of me so I looked away. I took a smaller sip of soda and I could feel someone's eyes burning into my head. It could be the damn sun that won't seem to give us homeless a break. I looked back up at the girl. She wasn't just staring this time, she was walking this way. 732Please respect copyright.PENANALDZ5pNA9te
Holy Shit. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAxL3xK6CCEi
The closer she got, the more I recognized who she was. Her foot caught tiny pothole in the street so she stumbled then corrected herself. I smiled but kept my eyes focused on something else like I didn't know she was heading towards me. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAgqM3oqZho6
Jesus, was I gonna have to save her again by not getting hit by a car? This girl, I swear—732Please respect copyright.PENANAQTuP8f7rcC
"Umm, hello," she said. 732Please respect copyright.PENANA1KqmHnjSB9
I still pretended like she was talking to someone else. I couldn't believe it. I was actually nervous to talk to this chick. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAitDxWE3Rfm
"Hello," she repeated. "I'm sorry to bug you, but—"732Please respect copyright.PENANAyvuNd9kqEl
"Huh? What?" I turned around towards her and mumbled whatever came out. To me, it was something clever and funny. To her it was nonsense. Gibberish. Gobbledigook. I had to try again. "Uh, hey. Sorry."732Please respect copyright.PENANA92IIGSTNMT
She smiled showing the brightest teeth I'd ever seen. She needed to come with a pair of sunglasses if you wanted to talk to her. My teeth were yellow and on the verge of falling out. I suddenly felt ashamed of them, so I kept them hidden. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAWlT2P2rN4n
"What are you sorry for?" She asked. "Do you know who I am?" She looked at me with a goofy, nervous grin. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAHgpDmUk9gE
I guess the first question was hypothetical. Of course I remembered who she was, but should I say so, or try to play it cool? 732Please respect copyright.PENANAUXGVdmrMeU
"Hmmm. Remind me." Cool it was. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAvBBnooT5g9
Yet, I sounded like an idiot to myself. Why was I so tripped up by this college-looking chick? Normally, I couldn't stand these people and would never be caught dead talking to one of them. Thank Christ no one else was around. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAX8ZKx6sDfJ
"You saved me. Do you remember? Last night?"732Please respect copyright.PENANAtfsehOQzUr
I made it look like I was thinking hard. Digging deep into my damaged memory. I had done so many drugs and destroyed so many brain cells through the years, I couldn't even remember how I got dope this morning, unless I thought really hard about it. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAKxi8ZOh78Y
Before I could answer, I saw she was staring at me, my clothes, my skinny body. 732Please respect copyright.PENANA53JAVlAsDU
"You know what?" She said. "Let me get you something to eat."732Please respect copyright.PENANAfP6qO8Vz6G
I never thought about it, but immediately when I turned my attention to my stomach, it gave a beastly growl. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAbIOUgCsfWE
She giggled. "I guess that's a yes?"732Please respect copyright.PENANAzaGNVEZx1Y
I looked up at her face, now in darkness from her head blocking the sun. Not seeing her face made it easier to speak to her. 732Please respect copyright.PENANAtO06tmGEwB
"Yeah, sure. I'm broke though."732Please respect copyright.PENANArciW8yLbYB
She smiled again, "I got it."
