Chapter 6

Chapter 6

I could feel the shrooms kicking in when Jes raised her head up from shoulders & her face looked different. It seemed like her smile stretched farther than her ears. Like some type of clown or something. It didn't looked animated at all, it looked completely real. It scared me a little. Josh put on some relaxing music, I didn't recognize it but everything in the world did not seem like the way I knew it before.

Jes walked down the stairs down onto the grass and laid there. She stared at the sky aimlessly. I think Josh went inside but I was far to lost care. I decided I was going to go on a little walk, being above ground looked really weird & I didn't like it at all. The stairs were harder than ever, they started swaying back and forth. It looked as if they were floating on water. I kind of fell to my knees, as I looked around I started hearing laughing. I looked imediately to where the sound was coming from. I saw a clown! It was peeking out from behind the house. I'm sure I'm tripping, but it looked so real. Maybe it was Josh f*****g with me because he knew I tripping. The clown had a purple hat with gold polks-dots on it. It's face was painted white and it had a smile that looked a lot like Jessica's did. I can't see much of his outfit, but I saw that it was green and the end of the sleeves were torn. It was a happy, yet scary looking clown.

I decided to walk towards it. It wave at me and then it took off behind the house. I ran after it and when I got to the corner of the house it looked completely different. I saw beautiful flowers & mushrooms of all sorts of colors. The grass looked greener and healthier than it ever had been. I saw a bunny come up to my feet and sniff them. All I could think is that this was incredible! I bent down to touch the bunny, carefully so I wouldn't scare it off. Once I touched it dissapeared. I blinked a couple of times because I was unsure of what had just happened. I couldn't help but to laugh hysterically. I heard some more laughing back on the other side of the house. I took a few steps back & I saw Jessica laughing & rolling around on her back. I figured I would walk back to see her for a few minutes. When I got there is when s**t really got started.

I went & sat down next to Jes. I looked at her and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Her head was spinning all the way around with the sound of uncontrollable laughter. My laughter quickly stopped. Once my laughing stopped, I think she noticed. Her face stopped spinning and her giant over-sized smile turned into a giant over-sized frown. She leaned over a gave me a hug. I fell over & she fell on top of me. I just laid there and looked at the sky. I was kind of scared to look at her. I never thought I would say that, but it was true.

Then the trip completely took a different turn. I was back close enough so I could hear the nice happy music. It seemed like the music triggered a big change. The sky looked liked it was bunch of different colors. I just laughed & laughed. There was no doubt at all that I was happy. Maybe even to happy. I couldn't stop laughing, because everything I saw was so crazy looking. The trees looked as if they stretched all the way up into the sky. I wasn't going to complain about laughing though. Everytime I even thought about anything bad, everything would start to turn bad. So I just kept thinking happy thoughts. I mean why not? I was tripping on shrooms with my two best friends. Which made me also wonder where Josh was, but I was in no shape to go find him. He can take care of himself.

Jessica stood up and stretched her arms out while spinning in circles. It looked as if different parts of her body were spinning at different speeds. Once again I just laughed hysterically. I'm even having a hard time explaing just exactly how I feel and everything that I'm seeing. I looked into the woods where Joshes outside lights weren't reaching and it didn't look pretty at all. I don't know why but I decided to take a closer look out there. Jessica saw me walking in that direction & she knew that was a bad idea. She hollered to me not to go out there. So I stopped. I swear I saw a wolf out in the woods. It had big red eyes and even though it was nice and hot outside I could see it's breath. I walked back slowly, not taking my eyes off the wolf. Then all of a sudden the wolf took off! It starting running after me and I was scared stiff. I was so scared I couldn't even move. The wolf slowed down as it got closer, it also got bigger. It completely stopped about twenty feet from me. I tried to tell myself that it wasn't real. I closed my eyes real right in hopes that when I opened that back up it would be gone...It wasn't. I ran as fast as I could up the steps.

"Jes run!" I hollered at her. "Wolf! Wolf!" I was so goddamn scared.

I'm not sure if she believed me, but she ran faster than I did all the way inside. When we got inside I fell to the floor along side Jes and tried to catch my breath. Once I did, I looked around and all the lights were on and the fact that air was a lot more comfortable soothed my mood out instantly. I saw Josh sitting on the living room couch. I didn't pay much attention to him because I was on my way to the bathroom. My stomach was killing me. I found my way to the bathroom and next thing I knew I was puking my guts out. I vomited like three or four times until I was able to lift my head and catch my breath. My head started spinning wildly. I can't even describe the feeling. It wasn't compleltly bad, but I was so just sit there so it could get worse.

I opened up the door and walked into the living room where Josh and Jes were at. They were watching some type of cartoon. It seemed as though the tripping went away after the scare. I was really disapointed. As soon as I sat down and relaxed to watch the cartoon it kicked again and harder than ever. All three of us just watched TV and laughed uncontrollably. Every once and awhile somebody would fall out of there chair because they were laughing so hard. The Television looked 3D and the characters looked so ridiculous. There faces were all sorts of shapes that would be constantly changing. I'm not sure if it was the puking of what, but I tripped so ridiculously hard and enjoyed every minute of it. I was so damn fucked up and lost in the TV I couldn't even explain it. The people on there had big huge eyes and bodies that looked like they were globs of jelly. Everytime I looked at one of my friends they would have crazy looking faces, they almost looked some really fucked up clowns themselves.

The next thing I was falling asleep and didn't even know it. As hard as I fought it I couldn't wake up. I heard the constant laughter of Jes and Josh, but I couldn't joine them. I was really disapointed, but I decided not to fight it. I remember Josh telling me to just flow along with whatever your body wants to do, don't fight anything. I flowed off to sleep, when I closed my eyes I saw some crazy colors. The back of my eyelids looked like some type tye-dye movie. I was gone.

I woke up the next morning feeling pretty good, tired but good. I couldn't remember much, I remembered the part about the wolf and a few other parts of the trip, but nothing in detail. My neck was sore was sleeping on the couch. So as usual I waslked out to my car to get some pain-killers. I probably should think about quitting these things, but I just don't have any motivation to at all. They don't really mess me up anymore, it's just nice never having any physical pain to deal with. It also keeps me nice and laid back. As I went inside to get some water I noticed that some new neighbors were moving in. I didn't even notice anyone move out of the house. Come to think of it I never even noticed that it was up for sale. I'm not surprised about it though. The houses in this neighborhood were seperated by thick woods. I wouldn't actually see the house from where I was standing, I could just the moving truck backing into the driveway.

I got my water and went straight out to the back deck to smoke a cigarette. I thought about going to check on the others, but to be honest I was completely more worried about my morning cigarette. The same CD was still playing that had been playing last night. I couldn't help but to laugh a little about it. I sat down and boy did it feel good to get off my legs. It seemed like the shrooms took a lot out of me. I looked to the other side of deck and I was startled to see Josh over there standing smoking a cigarette as well. It made my heart skip a beat, but I didn't notice. I was more concerned with Joshes face. He looked like s**t, like he hadn't slept in days.

"Morning." He said very apathetically.

"Mmhm." I walked a little closer to get a closer look. "You okay man?"

"Yeah last night for some reason I couldn't sleep." Which was surprising because I couldn't hold my eyes open to save my life. "I went into my parents room to see what they had for drugs. This was all after I was pretty much done tripping."

"You didn't fall asleep when you were done, like I did?" I couldn't even picture staying up after last night.

"Nope." He took another hit of his cigarette then continued. "I found a bottle that read Ambien, but the pills in the bottle looked different. I didn't care, I had a headache from tripping so hard and I just wanted to sleep. I took the pills and once they didn't work after about forty-five minutes I looked up the pills online and found out they were aterol. I took four of them thinking I was going ot be knocked out cold, but only to find out that those pills kept me awake like cocaine."

"Damn dude." I felt really sorry for him. "Since you don't have to work today, you could go in to bed now."

"Nah, I'm not even tired. Those fuckers are still working. I spent all night playing guitar, I played for hours and it never got boring." He took the last hit of the cigarette and threw it. "I wrote a new song though."

"Well that’s good I suppose." I didn't really know what else to say.

I walked inside with Josh not really sure what I wanted to do. I went and got Joshes guitar and started strumming some chords lightly. I realized that I haven't played in awhile so I due for a good practice. Josh decided since he was so jacked up that he was going to put it to use and make a good breakfast for everyone. He started by making some bacon and sausage. Oh, it smelt so damn good. I was already really excited for it. About then Jessica rolled out of bed and into the kitchen. I could tell that she didn't have much energy, but I could also tell that she wasn't suffering at all.

"Good morning sunshine." I said with a bright smile on my face.

She smiled back. "Good morning Ian." She sat down at the table with me & we talked amongst ourselves while Josh was doing his thing.

"Did you have fun last night?"

"Yeah, it was fun. One of the best trips I've ever had. She looked back at Josh, she obviously noticed that Josh didn't look well. "What happened to him?"

I kind of laughed, "He accidentally took some aterol last night."

She laughed with me. "S**t happens....So, how was your night?"

"My night was good. A little rough at first, but it ended up going well." She smiled

"I'm glad you had a good first shroom trip." She said.

"Breakfast is ready!!" Josh yelled, even though we were about ten feet from him.

We all got our plates that were already prepared for us and ate completely silent. I was starving and since we all kind of ate together I'm sure that everyone else was too. The food was delicious, I don't think we could of gotten a better breakfast in a diner.
