(The awakening)
I cant remember what happened, i just know that everything is so messed up right now. Today, i woke up with the feeling that something bad has happened, something horrible from which i would regret the rest of my life, and whose repercutions would follow me from now until i die. It was a normal sunday in the afternoon and my friends gave me a call saying that they have found the best way to pass the time with this incredible drink they discovered; which was cheaper than beer and stronger (more alcoholic percentage), and i said ¿Why not?, so i got the car and told my mom that i would get home after 10 pm but before 00 am, everything was ok, just as it should. When i arrived to my friends house i got into the basement, where everyone was and i found Lenny (a friend whose parents dont care about) and talked to him a Little bit
Me: hey yo whats up with this drink you found, what is it?
Lenny: Dude, dont worry about that, you just have to drink it and everything will be allright…
So, i believed him and went to grab a plastic cup in order for drinking that kind of liquor, suddenly i found that Larry was pouring it in his eye and “drinking” it that way. I first say “no, they must be joking with me”, but then i saw everyone doing the same, and with lots of peer pressure and people saying that if i didnt do it i would be a chicken and things like that, i decided to go for it and try a Little bit. At first it burnt my eye a Little, but the feeling of the alcohol in my blood was almost instantaneous, so i went for more and more and more…. I just remember that i was driving on the neighborhood at 2 am and suddenly i cant remember a thing. Waking up i grabbed the newspaper and watched the section of dead people, and saw a really interesting article about one person who was ran over by a car in my neighborhood and that the pólice havent found the suspect… And in that moment, that feeling came to me, ¿Was it me?, ¿Is it posible that i.. killed someone?, so i went to Lenny and asked him what was the thing he gave me to drink, but lenny wasnt in his house, he was at the hospital because he suffered blindness because of drinking that thing, anybody knew what was that and they didnt knew the secondary effects, so i went to my doctor and asked for a check up of the substances in my urine and everything; and the result was surprising, it was a mix of methilamine with rat poison and some kind of liquid weed called “hexis”, the doctor say that with the amount that i consumed i shall be dead by that time, but dor a miracle i wasnt. After that i went to the police station and asked for information about the person who was killed in the moring(2:am) and they said that they only had the information that the car which was implicated was a 2009 chevy impala (my car), at the beginning i tought it was all just a coincidence, but then i faced the truth and ran away to Mexico.
The end.
