Wow. This was good so far. But, let me tell you something. My wonderful brother was/is a druggie and drug dealer. He ended up raping me and telling me to kill myself. Drugs are no fun and they hurt everyone.

Very true! I myself have struggled with many typed of addiction. Ive been sober for 3 years now but it still seems to creep into my writing. In my other story The Colony, the main character is a heroine addict who looses his arm from using dirty needles....eww! A lot this that you read actually is based loosely off a time in my life where i could consider myself to be like this character. It's sad to read but it truly helps me to get it out.
Thanks for reading!

...Why have I not read anything by you before?! Or maybe I have but I don't remember or maybe I did but I didn't or maybe it was in a parallel universe or.... THIS WAS AMAZING. I loved this, well not what they were doing but it was so perfectly written I almost feel like crying for joy, I love reading good writing. Yes, I really do... I mean, gosh. Wow. I feel like I'm you... This was so excellently written... I think the name is also very fitting. Didn't know they put chemicals in dust removers to deter addicts I mean.... Doesn't that make it even more dangerous...??? Sorry, I am being incoherent. Just the way you described OC and Devin was just pure gold, I'd love to get to know them better... Are you going to continue this, bc that would be aaaammmAAAZING. Is my beg worth anything?! Please, please, please, continue this, please, please please... I want to get to know these guys better. if you don't I will feel robbed of a friend I never had! And I'm like, super lonely! My mom won't even let me have a cat! :/ I mean, If this was an unedited draft, good lord, what... Okay. Well done! This was excellent bravo! Sorry if you thibkbim crazy or annoying or both....

I appreciate that, sincerely. I was in love with it while i was writing it. I think it was therapy for me though because there is a lot of myself and my own experiences in this. Maybe it was just something i had to get off my chest. Thanks for reading!
