Bkmdma Overdose: A Short Story

Improved Essays
I had the all too real choice between staying awake to live and going to sleep to die. As I stared at the swirling shapes on the wall, I contemplated whether it would even be worth it to fight. I called, as I had done to no avail many times before, for someone to help. Either they could not hear me or they did not care to help. As my eyes started to sag, I thought of never waking up. My heart raced faster than it already was. The jolt lifted my eyelids from the depths of insanity and I made the decision. Surviving the terror of a BkMDMA overdose helped me overcome my addiction by revealing to me all of the things I cared about, generating a negative feeling to associate with drug use, and showing me where my life was going.

Energy flowed through my body like a lightning bolt had struck me. Creativity began to flow as freely as the molten glass in front of me. It didn’t take long before the thirst came. I felt as though I was trapped in a desert. It was scorching in that room and I could not take it anymore. I went to the bathroom and tried the sink, only to realize that there was no running water in this building. I was getting dizzy. I stumbled out of the bathroom and grabbed as many bottles of water as I could from the fridge. As pulled the curtain to the bathroom closed and sat on the toilet, I told myself that it would be over soon. My heart was racing and my skin was clammy. The heat coming off my chest was unbearable. Panic was inevitable. I was too hot. I was too high. The room was spinning and I could not make it stop. Images appeared on the walls and they were screaming at me. Incomprehensible words that probably did not even exist in the English language. I freaked out and took off my shirt to throw it at a particularly evil looking face that morphed out of a spider web in the corner. The face went away, only to be replaced by sound that I could see radiating from the spot. I sat on the toilet and covered my eyes. Hot. Hot. Hot. I was way too hot. I opened another bottle of water and poured it all over my body. I needed to cool down immediately. My pants had to come off. I never anticipated the terror I was

    Boooooooo! Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa! There were 2 things going around in Harvals brain: one was to write a postcard to his friends, and another was to relax in his placid room.

    The adrenaline was pumping through my veins and I couldn’t stop despite the fact that my lungs felt as if there were icy shards lodged in my chest. Haunted figures of the men that destroyed my life as I knew it flashed before my eyes as I lept over crates and pushed down trash cans behind me, my path marked by a riddled maze of rotted food and old possessions. The tears in my eyes were no longer tears,but streaks of moisture…

    I trudged onward, feeling the numbing cold of the atmosphere intensify with each hurtling step. Every breath I take now is filled with the icy air of my heart. It pains me so much as the ridgid air spreads the cold blood throughout my veins. The cold in my heart blurs my vision, rimming everything in red. Seconds later, I heard a gunshot whiz past my ear, before more started to follow, thick like winter hail.…

    Hands shaking, thoughts scrambling, salty tears stream down my bare cheeks. Numb, I sat on my bathroom’s ice-cold, white tiled floor. A bottle of lorazepam clutched tightly in one hand and a plastic water bottle in the other. I was not scared, I was calm. I was a young girl who became an empty vessel rather than a living, breathing creature.…

    Being an addict is certainly more of a challenge than what I expected it to be. Having to conspicuously and consistently hide what you feel like you need on a daily basis is more than difficult. This stimulation was also incredibly tedious to deal with, considering I drink more than the average. I had to conceal the ice cubes that I got at 11 pm from the liquor store in the depths of my freezer. Throughout the day, I would have to hide my ice cubes in a hydro flask, and every time I had a drink in my other bottle, I would have to go to the bathroom in the sketchiest of stalls to fill up.…

    Disbelieve and fear shook my mind as I lie on my back, sitting on top of concrete sandwiched in between the hot metal hood of a car, as the weight pressed down against me it didn’t hurt, my body was too numb to feel anything. All I could feel was a car pushing me further into the ground pushing my lungs down and shutting air out of it. It felt too surreal I kept blinking as if I thought I’d wake up from this mess. I could see sirens and people gathering around me watching in disbelieve, I kept fading in and out of conscience I felt like I was close to death.…
