The Overdose

[Xahmen]

The burn told me that I'd done too much.
I quickly pulled the tourniquet, smashing the vein shut, halting the flow of heroin for a quick moment.
My world slowed down.

I can't keep pulling this cord, eventually the rubber is going to snap or my arm will tire; but the second I ease up I'm going to overdose.
s**t ******** god damn ******** ******** ******** ******** arm -butIwanttobeasurgeon- or life?
I got'ta lose one.
But I want to be a surgeon.

Shock both set in, and wore off at the same time.
I had to lose the arm.
Come on man, they taught you this in med school.

The cleaver.
I jumped up (still pulling the cord) and staggered to the kitchen.
The drug was leaking through; the vein was broken.
The stove went on, I was going to need something to cauterize with.

The cord snapped, the H hit.
Daaamn nnn...

Maybe... Maybe... ********>

What was most powerful to me was the inlaying of furutre plans.

"but I want to be a surgeon."  

[KirbyVictorious]

Was it supposed to sound like s/he was on drugs? 'Cause it really did.  

[Tak-Jak]

Kirby, the point was the guy, the tone is more fitting, injected himself with Heroin, a little bit too much at that.  

[KirbyVictorious]

Yes, thatis certainly the point.

So you really do have to cut off your arm? Or was he going to do that because he couldn't think straight?

Yes, thatis certainly the point.

Hell, I can't think straight period.

Nice, Zahmen. I remember back when you'd write these stories as if you'd done them yourself. All the guildies would eek and think that you're dying.  

[KirbyVictorious]

Exactly. And you never told us if you were or not. O.o But I think this one's old, isn't it?  

[Xahmen]

Yes, this is a reprint.

Call me ADD, but I really liked the texture of your text, so to speak. The progressive sizing, the punctuation, the boldface and italics. Really added something to it, although the story and writing would have been good enough on their own.

Do you EVER write anything that sucks? XD
