Spoons

[m_malcontent]

They never gave “H” a welcome home party, but it is back.  Had to be with all of the suburban kids reaching into mommy’s medicine cabinet to get barred out on Xanax and, more lethally, high on Oxy.  First you pop a couple, then a handful, then a heaping handful.  Then you grind and snort, then you shoot and those little pills cost 5 bucks a piece

You know, "Spoons" leads right to Heroin as a topic, but I still didn't think of it-- or this creative approach and narrative style.

The whole potential of the would-be accoster yelling "Thunderation!" cracked me up.

I really liked the stle of this one. :D

Oh, no, the ending! Drugs can mess up everyone's life, even the bystanders and apparently the hero come to save his little girl. Good job!

Hahaha. Enjoyed both the writing and the twist at the end.

I never thought of spoons leading to drugs, but it makes perfect sense.

Nice twist at the end.

Good voice in this piece. I was not expecting that ending! :)
