Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I started a new diary to record my life alone. I had no friends left, so I could read back and remember what I did the day before. I wanted to leave a paper trail of my life if I died.

#2 I was touched by the fact that Jason came over again, even though he knows how I feel about him. He’s a mooching, greasy-haired James Dean look-alike who stands by the tree and asks me how my Christmas was.

#3 The best part of freebase is before the first hit. It’s like foreplay, and I love it. The worst part of freebase is running out, but I have a new jones: speedballs of any kind.

#4 I was always in the closet in my bedroom, where I kept my drugs and gun. I was safe there until I got too high, when I couldn’t control my mind.

#2

I was touched by the fact that Jason came over again, even though he knows how I feel about him. He’s a mooching, greasy-haired James Dean look-alike who stands by the tree and asks me how my Christmas was.

The best part of freebase is before the first hit. It’s like foreplay, and I love it. The worst part of freebase is running out, but I have a new jones: speedballs of any kind.
