HOUSE HOP
John Dexter
Ember Library EL343
1966
It was over.
Or so I thought.
The first phase was over, that's all, and I had idea what would follow until this guy Mike, who'd come out with Charlie and the girls, stood up and said, in his slow, stoned-out voice.
"I got two dozen cubes in my jacket. Anybody want to take a trip?"
I knew what he was talking about. He meant sugar cubes impregnated with LSD, that psychiatric drug that produces all kinds of hallucinations.
And all at once I was afraid of what was going to happen.
Especially when several voices said, "Sure, sure! What a great idea!"
"Yeah, let's take a trip and really wig out!"
"Yeah, man!"
