There's a red twilight falling over this room and I'm noticing the bile rising in the back of my throat but can't stir the energy to swallow it down; it seeps like sullen fire into my mouth and stays there, warming me sour from the inside.
I've noticed the walls' eyes watching me circle the worn carpet with my own two eyes, and the astonished mouths of the window gaping wordlessly; they wonder at the half-voiced cries that seem to pull themselves out of my throat from time to time but I can't remember the words to answer them.
There are shadows in the scarlet gloom around me and one is collapsed in a corner murmuring sweet nothings to itself and one clenches its fists in its hair; they were people once. I was also something more than this vague flicker, before the Haze fell, but it seems that all I am now is the fragment of sensation that is the soft cushions purring against my bare legs, the bleeding gums, the half-lidded eyes.

It came on a Thursday three years ago as grey-blue crystals whispering in the bottom of the small baggie that Nick pulled from his hoodie pocket as we huddled near Michael's couch.
When he pulled the bag carefully open the smell hit the top of my nose - ammonia, lavender, other chemicals that I couldn't identify that bit sharp and cold.
"Rank," Nick said, pulling a face and grinning. "It's worth it, though, I'm telling you."
- I have to smoke this stuff?
He just reached his hand out for Michael's pipe, green eyes on me sparkling impishly, and packed the tiniest bit into the bowl.
"I should hold it for you," he said.
- Should I be sitting down?
"Yeah," Michael said from the couch behind me. I laughed for some reason and took the cushion next to him.
"Ready?"
- Light it.
The pipe clinked lightly against my teeth as Nick held it to my mouth and the lighter breathed its heat onto my face as I sucked lavender-ammonia smoke and slumped lazily backward. I felt the life drain slowly out of me through my feet and a delicious red-tinged warmth settle on me, starting at my eyes and sweeping its way smoothly down my body.
"Liz?"
- This is why they... I started, and lost my words halfway through.
Nick and Michael grinned at each other and the worried swirls in the carpet opened their eyes.

Well remembered, but that was just awfully-timed stomach flu something or other.
No baby stardamages, thank god.

I did Salvia once and all I can say is that I couldn't make my way out of the fetal position for like 10 minutes.
Not fun. I prefer at least being able to play guitar or something when I'm fucked up.

You ain't smoking that shit right then, brother. You have to get a butane lighter and light it at a super hot temperature in order for it to work properly. After you burn it at the high temperature hold it for as long as you can and when you exhale, nothing will compare to it. I've never tripped so hard in my life other than that 2-5 minutes. You've got to do it in a bong or a bowl, not rolling it or anything. I fucking saw some crazy shit and I actually had minor out of body on that shit. I felt like I melted into the chair and saw myself stuck in it. Try it like I said and get back at me.

This kid knows what he's talking about. I've only done it once but it was probably the best trip i've ever had. I was also stuck to my chair and laughing histerically at a guy that looked to me exactly like napoleon dynamite at the time. I also felt my blood rushing like never before. The colors were pretty distorted too. I was actually sitting outside and i couldn't tell where I, ir anything else, ended or began. it was all just one big blob. If you don't feel the effects, (besides what sicosemen said) you might have gotten ripped off or just got some that wasn't as potent. i know there's a lot of scammers out there that would sell you some other very minorly euphoric herb.

This was a good free-for-all contest thingy you came up with, Scourge.
I've heard different things about salvia. I've never tried it but I've heard people say it was unpleasant.

Salvia is lame. At least the shit I got. Nothing like anything else, but not half as fucked as bad mush or LSD.

I really liked this. I get the idea. I will admit though, I have no fucking clue who/ what Liz was about.
