Chapter 26: Weed Depletion

Andrea just cried in Joey's arms, laying by the dead Yvonne, the highly visible burnt heels partially sticking to her feet from putting out the small fire from the joint. She didn't want to say anything. She didn't want to hurt anyone else. The urge came from inside her for some reason, but she didn't know why.

"Joey, someone tried to attack me again, I was walking by the tent to get something from that little store over across the street and Ray just looked at me like he could kill me. Then, he attacked me and Yvonne, he made Yvonne slit her own wrists! And then he tried to get me and I had to defend myself, so I pushed him down the hill. He fell on the gun and he killed himself," she cried into his shirt. She was an excellent liar now. And she knew it.

"I'm so sorry baby," Joey kissed the top of her blood laden head, pulling her closer to her and starting to cry himself. Why would someone want to hurt someone so beautiful to him? he though to himself as he smelt a strong scent in the air.

A cigarette of some kind.

But he couldn't redirect his attention to some insignificant "craving" for nicotine when the love of his life was laying in his arms, wounded with more than a physical scar. He couldn't help the pressure, though.

"Baby, I'm sorry to do this, but I've got to have a cigarette," he grabbed the joint that he saw laying on Ray's winter jacket and brought out his lighter. Andrea finally lifted her frail body out of Joey's enbrace as he lit the joint and started to puff it in.

She knew well that wasn't a cigarette. Now she started to have a craving for the marijuana as well.

"Hand me one too," she said. Joey grabbed another joint and Andrea stuck it straight in her mouth. Joey lit it for her and Andrea inhaled the hallucinogen, feeling complete with each breath she took afterwards.

Then she realized her murderous actions seemed to be cooled down since her first puff. She had had a weed deficiency. That's what made her kill. But no one, not even her, would know this deficiency would go to killing people. Or how far it would advance in the future.
