"Man, you weren't lying about this shit. I feel like I'm on fire, man." Jerome was the most annoying guy I had ever tried to do drugs with. Everything had to be some transformative experience with him. He could never just shut the hell up and let everyone enjoy the high in their own way. He was always trying to get everyone else to have the exact same trip he was on. Like that's even possible. Everyone is experiencing something unique to them and... Oh. Oh shit, he's actually on fire. I hope we have a fire extinguisher around here.
