“Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing.

And neither have I, for that matter.”

“We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.”
