Many of you have heard the stories on heroin, the death tolls, OD's and life shattering experiences that will make Heroin seem like the grim reapers tool. I have been listening, and with the idea of 'try it once' in my mind, I bought H in vials from my friend, a expert needle pusher.

We sat in my basement, he was going to guide me through the high. He prepared the dosage and began to put the tourniquet around my arm. I began to get scared, my 3 aunts dying of H in Lawrence crackhouses, what my parents would think, how I was destroying my life. I forgot it all as I cleared my mind, told him to inject it into me.

As soon as the plunger was pushed in I felt the 'pins and needles' effect. My friend pulled the needle out of me, and I just sat staring into nothing, wondering about nothing, it was a instant effect. I was in oblivion, a world in nothingness as I was enveloped in a world of pleasure.

If I was alone, I would not have been able to pull the needle out of my arm.
If I was alone, I would not have been able to pull the needle out of my arm.


I sat, continued to stare as 'Dark Side of The Moon' played in the backround. For several hours I sat there. I wanted to do everything, and nothing.

Soon the effects wore off, and I wanted more. I learned that I do not have the ability to control everything, and H helped me to understand that.
