I thought it was tea it tasted bitter, different, unknown I started feeling...something Everything was slowing down everything everyone said seemed funny their mouths moved to every syllable and each hair on a face seemed more detailed I watched my hands grow, fingers seemed to elongate everyone was wearing clowns feet, big floppy shoes time seemed to move in technicolor and stretch in a corner, a couple was kissing they melted into the wall the wall melted into the floor the floor melted away leaving me on the edge of something, unseen a light was spinning, coming closer and closer it can't be the sun, it's growing I scream darkness, sweat, a cold wet towel a soft voice, are you alright I don't know I just had some tea 3/8/18 contest Hallucination

Frederic - TWICE I was given drugs without my knowledge - acid once and then angel dust - and both experiences were horrific, and some of the worst memories of my life. I created my own problems later on with other substances, sadly, but I have NEVER liked anything that changed my perceptions or hindered my clarity of thought ... I can SO relate. Wonderful write, my friend, and congrats on your HM!
