Wow…that was intense and frightening at the same time. Joseph and Rose had a bit too much, and Jason sniffed it while the others injected it. Rose and Joseph were content but dead. Jason made it through but was silent. How much more could these guys take?
*Joseph sniffed it. This is before he starts shooting up.
Rose overdoses.
The final line is basically Jason saying, "If I overdose, just kick me out of the car and move on."
I know they seem like short stories, but these are just short chapters. VILE SELF PORTRAITS is a novel, albeit a strangely formatted novel, but a novel nonetheless. The next few chapters are just as short, but then we get into the meat of the novel, and the chapters become much longer.
No worries at all. I know it might be a bit confusing to some folks, so I just wanted to clarify. Serializing the chapters on Substack does make them appear to be short stories. I’m glad you commented, gives me a chance to say this.

Thanks so much for your comment!
That’s right, they’re chapters. My bad…

It didn’t amount to much.
Neither did we.
man.
That one hits me hard, too.
Truth is, we didn’t.
😿 This one made me sad.
Yeah, it's a rough one. Much more misery to come.
