Drugs. You hear about them, you read about them, you even watch them being used in movies and TV shows. Maybe some have even used them personally and know how they are from experience. I myself have seem them in action, which is the entire reason behind this little story. Now, I'm not going to bash drugs. No, that's not my intention at all. You want to do drugs? Fine, be my guest, I won't stop you. If anything, I will laugh at you if you are amusing and if you aren't? Then you're nothing but vermin, scum, but you're high so my opinion doesn't matter in the first place, does it?
So back to my point on this. Watching people spiral downwards from drug use. I have neighbors across the street who are some heavy users. Methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine. And those three are being used by just one guy, which is the most fucking amusing part of all of this. He also does weed and drinks, but who cares about that?
This neighbor, we'll call him Mr. M, used to be this big-little kid. Always smiling, joking, never taking life seriously. He liked to go with the flow and have fun. This was quite a few months ago when he was sober. Now days? He's a man with a suicide mission. Paranoid, skinny, overall insane and fucked up. I've watched the changes, I've seen them happen. Honestly? I'm afraid to talk to the man now. I don't know what he might do.
Lately he's been attacking and yelling at his roommates, accusing them of stealing his shit (whether he means drugs or personal possessions I have no clue) but today it got physical. I'm not really sure what started it, but all of a sudden I hear all this yelling and I go outside to see what's going down. I hear shouts of different drugs, namely meth, and then I see Mr. M looking like he's gonna have a boxing match with someone. Honestly, I don't think he was actually hitting anyone, he just looked like a fucking idiot doing a little dance.
But then all of a sudden he lunges, and I hear all this shit breaking, like Mr. M tackled whoever he was fighting into glass and it broke. Two guys from across the street run over and pull Mr. M off and after some more yelling, Mr. M stalks into the house then back out and up the street. I get a perfect view of this all from my house. And all I can think is "Yay! Conflict! <3"
Later my Mom went over and talked to one of the guys who was in the middle of it all, and she said there was blood and glass and all sorts of shit where they were fighting. I want to know who was bleeding, cause from all the guys I saw they all seemed pretty fine, and Mr. M wasn't bleeding if a little bruised. All-in-all, we all agree that Mr. M is an a suicide mission, looking for fights and shit.
It's really a shame. In an odd moment of kindness my mother even tried to help Mr. M get a plane ticket home to the mainland before he got this far. He's too fucked up for it now and I somehow doubt he has any money. All of his unemployment checks? He spends instantly on drugs. Thousands and thousands of dollars, that could be used to pay off rent and bills and to get food with, used to get drugs.
I personally believe Mr. M will be dead before Christmas, whether it's from him picking a fight with the wrong person or from shooting up his precious drugs. It just takes one shot, impure or even just a little too much, to kill yourself. Mr. M is so pathetic, letting drugs control him the way they do. But at the same time I'm amused and curious. I want to see how his story ends.
Hopefully it'll end on this street, where I can hear and maybe even watch as he finally erodes into nothing.
