The streetlights and stars swap their places like cards on a con-man’s table while the bitumen trickles up as hourglass sand back to black the sky. I turn to Damian, now no longer in existence, and say, Hey, did we really take that stuff or was it fake too?

He barks through the flaps in his face. That’s what I thought, I say, and watch the world dissolve.
