Kron by Night - Mike Bozart
[|] Convention for the thoughts of the characters in this novelette:
My [Tryke’s] thoughts look like this. / Burke’s thoughts look like this. / Mary’s thoughts look like this. / Franks’ thoughts look like this.
In memory of Mr. Frank von Peck
It was back in mid-June of 1984 when Burke Braun (future Agent 2), his then-fiancée (and now wife) Mary (classified agent no.), Frank von Peck (future Agent 107) and yours sure-really (future Agent 33) decided to head up to Morrow Mountain State Park (near Albemarle, NC) for a mind-expanding camping trip. Burke had just procured some high-grade, water-soluble, psychoactive beads from a fellow employee (now deceased) at Grapevine Records (now defunct) on East Independence Boulevard (now Expressway).
Mary’s still-quite-reliable, olive green, trunky, 1972 Plymouth Valiant 4-door sedan would be the mode of transit for the four of us twenty-something and nearly-twenty Caucasian cosmic cadets on a muggy, mid-morning Saturday. After Frank’s courtesy oil dipstick check, we were off and rolling.
It quickly got smoky inside the cab. Mary, a winsome brunette, cracked her window to exhaust the herbal exhalations. This car is a moving smokehouse.
The ride was largely uneventful, except for the conversation regarding the not-yet-disclosed psychoactive.
What exactly is it that we are going to take, Burke?
Frank asked from the backseat, next to me.
Mark, the guy in the EP (Extended Play) section of the store told me that the active ingredient is a psilocybin spinoff,
Burke replied from the shotgun seat. A psilocybin spinoff? / What in this wacky world? / A toxic spinoff?
Is it safe?
I asked. It’s not some strychnine amalgam, is it?
Gosh, he is already paranoid.
Yeah, it’s safe; it’s not rat poison. Several of the Grapevine crew have already done it. All glowing, super-positive reviews.
Nice to hear.
What’s the recommended dosage?
Mary asked as she briefly glanced over at Burke, while keeping two hands on the steering wheel. Good question. A very good question.
Burke turned his brown-haired head to the left. Mark said that ‘one is fun’; ‘two will do’; ‘three will set you free’; but, ‘four will slam the door’.
What door? / Wow, Mark managed to make a rhyme out of it.
In that case, I’ll be taking five,
Frank immediately blurted. Good lord.
Are you crazy, Frank?
I asked rhetorically. You don’t want to flip out and fall off the mountain.
I’ll be fine, dude,
Frank said assuredly. That old mountain is just a tired, burnt-out, sloughing-away hill.
Burke looked back at me. Let me guess, Tryke, [my nickname, which became my nom de brosse] you’re only going to take half of one.
"No, Burke,
