Nepenthe : (noun)
Something that can make you forget grief or suffering.
My nepenthe is crystal meth.
The second the pipe touches my lips, the moment the flame dances merrily below, the instant I inhale I'm in absolute ecstasy.
I can feel nothing, and everything all at once.
I can taste happiness, and smell heaven.
But if only I had known.
If I had known I would never have tried it.
I would give up every single uneventful, nirvana-like high I ever experienced just to replace the image of her mangled body.

Time Capsule
WARNING: Drug references, violence, abuse, and sexual content!!! * * "I was thinking last night, and I thought we could make like a box and put some of our stuff in it." "Like a timecapsule?" "Yes! Exactly! Then we can bury it at that lake in the woods! And then on your 19th birthday we can come back and open it." "That's a great idea Niall! But what if you don't remember?" I frowned and he gently held my cheeks in his hand. "I won't forget, Annabelle. I promise that before then, when I am 18, I'll come back here. And that spot in the woods is now our place. Ours and only ours. Whenever you miss me, just go to that spot and smile at every memory. You promise to do that and I promise I won't forget." "Pinky Promise?"

Drive
Within the bare off-white walls of the small and square guest bedroom, the sound of a heavy leather belt falling away from where deathly pale skin hung off bone, breaking the sleeping silence as it landed with a dull thud on the cream carpeted floor. A thin thumb pushed down on the plunger a little too fast, releasing a mixture of heroin and crystal meth into the vein; situated just under the crook of the elbow-in between the abscesses. A loose smile twitching onto cracked lips, revealing many missing and rotting teeth. Her view of the whitewashed ceiling blurring as the rush overwhelmed her; the familiar warmth blossoming in her skull, and a burst of excitement surging inside her fluttering chest. The high lifted her above all the shaking, all the sweating, all the crying, all the insecurities, all the thinking and all the suffering. Alleviated the pain. The high didn't bring her happiness anymore, it hadn't for years now. It just made the pain go away for a few hours. ~ The story of a suicidal drug addict on the edge of oblivion. *WARNING: drug abuse, self harm, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are prominent in this short story.
