Achilles
2
Sleeps
later
and
I'm
still
fucked
up
.
Why
was
it
so
strong
?
My
friends
were
fine
-
but
I
was
gone
.
They
asked
me
if
I
was
going
to
OD.
I
had
to
try
very
hard
not
to
say
"
if
I
do
,
that'd
be
ok
".
Instead
I
managed
to
tell
them
no
.
2
sleeps
later
I
would
turn
my
head
and
watch
light
follow
me
.
If
I
sqinted,
the
world
was
a
kalidescope.
It
had
never
been
like
that
before
.
So
I
tried
so
hard
to
pretend
to
be
ok
when
playing
chess
with
my
grandfather
,
but
really
I
found
the
afterblurring
of
the
light
bouncing
off
the
pieces
much
more
interesting
than
the
game
.
I
still
won
though
. Senility
must
be
real
bad
if
you
can't
beat
your
drugged
grandson
at
chess
.

one

Achilles
I
am
.
I
was
silly
-
I
had
no
idea
what
I
was
taking
- normally
I'm
much
more
careful
.
But
thanks
.
