Dan's Halloween High

I did it again.

I never learn.

I messed around and got uber high.

I'm talking about on another planet high.

The last time I had an edible chocolate bar, it wasn't that strong, so I didn't think too much of these. I glossed over the warning to go slow and Charlie Bucket'd that chocolate. You know the scene in the 70's film where he gets the Scrumbiddlyupcious bar from the Candy Man and starves shovelling it? Yeah, that was me, but a brunette. The wrapping on the bar said go slow. Start with one piece and see how you feel. Humbug. I was already kinda wound up when I opened the chocolate, so that was mistake number one. I wasn't really thinking about how much of it I ate after the first bit where I Charlie'd it; I was on the phone. I realise that I've probably eaten all that I needed and it was time to wait. I can be an impatient guy, but this time I didn't have to wait too long. It sure as hell wasn't that two hours the wrapper said! It really crept up on me. It started out slow and then it body-slammed me. I felt like I had unzipped my body and stepped out of it. I was floating through space and time. White light surrounded me and it felt like I was perpetually falling forward for a while, then it stopped. I was surrounded by thin white-grey trees. Their limbs reached for the heavens, the silence was deafening. I could hear my soul humming to its own beat, vibrating to its own unique frequency. It didn't feel safe. It felt like there was something watching me from the fog that hung around the tree bases. I then realised it felt like I had been there before. The fear crept into my bones. I tried to clear the image out of my mind, but it just became clearer. There was a black set of eyes watching me from the trees.
I saw my own suicide. Again and again. All my different attempts, each one successful. Everything played in slow motion. Time became nothing more than a hollow concept. The face of the clock looked evil. It started to laugh at me. I'm filling up with giggles. I don't know what's funny. Every sound that I hear is magnified. I can feel all of the sound vibrations throughout my body. The vibrations settle heavily in the back of my knees. I watched myself slit my own throat open and everything pour out of me. The screams from my past all echoing through my pores as my lifeless shell collided with the tile floor.
I wanted to scream, but I physically couldn't. Once again I found myself voiceless in a time where I needed to be most vocal. I felt my voice trapped deep below my sternum. The pressure and tingles started to spread south. I feel like I'm becoming something else. The light within my soul is throbbing, driving me into a strange state of arousal. My entire body is both hard and loose at the same time. I know a sexual release would just propel me into another plane. My elbows feel like marshmallows. It feels like every breath I take is my first. I look around the room, for some reason, there is a greenish tint to it. I'm falling back through time. I'm becoming a child once again. The fear of having to grow up all over again is crippling. Without even realising it, I've started screaming and laughing. It feels like my body's on fire.

Life consumes life. It hits me in a grey-white light. I can smell the sea all of a sudden. I taste salt in the back of my mouth, but I'm unable to swallow. Grey ocean waves wash over me. I'm drowning, but I'm not scared. I'm calm. The cold, salty water fills me, dragging me down to the sandy base. I change my mind. I want to see the surface again. I need to, maybe it will help me to understand everything that's happening to me.
I hang myself in the spring. It's an apple blossom tree. My lifeless body swings like that of a doll, caught in the wind. I feel free. I'm watching everything. The sun is setting; a fiery orange-red colour illuminates the sky behind me. I then realise that yes, my human life is over. Now I've become a beautiful tree. One life has ended to give way to the new. The natural order. I feel a euphoria that I've never felt before. I wasn't scared seeing myself dying over and over again. I felt complete relief. I felt whole. Giggles consumed me and I know looking back I should have had some other reaction, but I didn't.
I move. It feels like I'm God and I'm moving the world. Everything responds to my touch. My will be done. I'm so fucking hungry. This is a hunger like I've never felt it before. It feels like there is nothing that can fill the void. What kind of hunger is it? I know there are several different types of hunger, but what one am I? Why are the autumn colours so beautiful? And why do they make me want mozzarella sticks? I know I don't have any. But I did pop a pizza, half coated with plant-based sausage in the oven. I need it. I don't even care that it's hot. I slice that bitch up like I'm Freddy Kruger and start shoving it into my face. Normally, I'm not a really hungry guy, but this. I don't know. There was something deep within me telling me to eat. It doesn't take me long to get through half of the large pizza and want more. Normally a pizza lasts me 1-2 days and I get like 3 meals out of it. Today, I just wasn't having it. I'm so fucking thirsty. What is this cottonmouth? I then realise I've not been drinking. I'm gonna die. I've had no liquids. I'm going to dehydrate and die in this room! This is how my story ends? After everything?! I notice a can of soda on the floor. I'm not even sure if the Coke Zero is mine, but I crack it open and start guzzling. Not today mortality. THIS IS NOT HOW DANNY IS GOING DOWN!! I feel myself filling up, my cells recharging. I AM MOIST.
I'm thinking how everything is fuelled by electricity. I can feel my cells charging as I try to stand up. I can't get up. There is something weighing me down. Just close my eyes. Yeah, that and the feeling will pass. Wrong. I start tumbling forward again, everything inside me screaming. But physically I'm not making a sound. I'm falling through that grey-white light again and the trees. Flashes of my childhood hit me all at once: trick-or-treating, opening presents with grandma, riding my bike to fast I thought I was going to break the sound barrier. The memories flip flop. I'm cold. I want out of this. I want to stop seeing my death! It's as if I've spoken some magical words because when I open my eyes up my mind starts moving in a different direction. I'm with Ariel. We're sitting on Eric's boat. Stormy sea. Stormy sea. I'm a merman! I have a pretty green and black tail. My fins are amazing. Wait, how am I gonna fuck something? OH NO! Just as quickly as it came on, it disappeared. I'm falling again. I need to sleep this off. My entire body is telling me it needs sleep. BUT FIRST NOODLES. I start sucking down pasta like there is no tomorrow. I can't stop eating; I'm like Puffin. I'm shovelling in everything I can get my hands on. A loaf of bread, biscuits. It's like I can't get full. After about 30 minutes of this epic binge, I just need to lay down. Everything is full. My tummy is all stretched out and I'm content.

I think I might do a blog on smoking vs edibles since I've tried both.
What do you guys think?
