    Adam and Scott shyly followed Jim up to a couple of girls standing together. They looked like they could be a year or two older, and obviously a little more experienced than Adam and Scott. They wore tight blue jeans and low cut blouses; there were rings on almost every one of their fingers and bracelets on both wrists. Both were very pretty with blue eyes, light brown shoulder length hair, and they both looked slightly intoxicated.
     
    “Hey there ladies, I’d like to introduce you to a couple of my best friends. This here is Adam and this is Scott.” They both smiled and said, “Hi Adam and Scott. I’m Laura and this is Mary.”
     
    Being very inexperienced with girls and nervous, Adam didn’t know what to say except, “Hi!” However, Scott seemed a little more confident about how to handle the situation, “Can we get you two ladies a cold beer?”
     
    They both giggled and said, “I thought you’d never ask.” The girls followed Adam and Scott out back where the beer keg was located.
     
    As the evening progressed and more beer consumed, Adam and Scott settled into crazy conversations with the girls. The two girls kept whispering in each other’s ear and giggling, and then one of them asked them, “Have you two ever dropped LSD?”
     
    Adam and Scott both stared with their mouths slightly opened. They didn’t know how to respond, both were very inexperienced and hardly drank beer, but not wanting the girls to think they were still children, they reluctantly said, “No, but we are dying to try it.”
     
    “Follow us...” Adam and Scott followed the two girls to the bathroom and closed the door behind them. One of them opened her purse and produced a small folded piece of foil, she carefully unwrapped it. They all stood staring at what looked like three tiny orange colored pills; they were about the size of a split pea. She took one and roughly broke it into four smaller pieces. She then licked her finger and touched one of the pieces, placed it on her tongue and swallowed it. With a big smile on her face, she said, “Your turn.” They all did the same thing, before Adam and Scott knew it, they had just dropped LSD for the first time - there was no turning back now. The girls began to explain what they should expect from this LSD experience, however, Adam kept wondering to himself if this was a good thing to do.
     
    The girls suggested they all leave, go to their apartment and trip out in private. Seeing that the party was quickly getting out of hand, both Scott and Adam could not have agreed more. Leaving the party was the last thing Adam remembered with any semblance of reality.
     
    When they got to the apartment Adam was starting to hallucinate, his hearing started first. Everything he heard sounded like it was in slow motion and when he tried to focus on something, it would begin to melt before his eyes. At first, Adam resisted the effects of the LSD and the feeling of losing touch with reality, but with a little encouragement from Mary, he began to go with the flow... and learned to enjoy the effects, which were hard to describe. Adam found himself staring at his hands, wondering where they came from, and every time he waved them back and forth, they would leave beautiful trails of blue and red sparkles, that slowly evaporated before his eyes like smoke. Being amused with the trails his hands made, he continued waving them back and forth and in the distance he heard the sound of water dripping, the sound reverberated like an echo chamber. Each dripping sound made brightly colored flashes illuminate the room, and then slowly dissolve until Adam could recognize objects again. Each flash was a different color so vibrant that he could almost taste it – as least that’s what Adam thought he could do. He later realized it was just the blood pumping through his brain.
     
    Adam found himself lying on the floor and when he looked up, he saw Mary wearing only a bra and panties
