Awesome title/write and a sure winner in Michael's contest. I never tried it or a wine cooler either ... LOL ... I got sober in 1980 and didn't get a chance to try all the new fangled stuff that just kills ya quicker ... congratulations, Nigel on another great write!!

Wow Nigel. Powerful, sad Haiku. The effects of drugs and how it dominates the night life, claiming way too many in its path. This write will is very strong Nigel....Loved it...Chris.
