The Great Event:
These things I'm about to write may be largely truth...but a significant portion of it may be fiction, as well. My memory is not an organ to be trusted when I'm high.
Now the miraculous happenings of the "Great Event", as I've now come to call it, still need telling. Despite my limitations.
Anyway.
It's around 11 AM on a Saturday. I pick my friend up from his house. Being the great geniuses that we are...he brings in about a dub or less of that sticky icky. We load up the pipe to it's fullest, like Champions. Anything less would have been, as my friend, the crazy chinaman put it...
"pussy shit."
So. Minutes pass. I drive around. Finally settling on an abandoned park. Or so I think it was a park.
May have been a parking lot in a park.
We smoke more. Plumes of smoke accumulates in the car. I roll down the window.
We're predictably blazed out of our minds. We start discussing the plant vs human vs inorganic matter dilemma. I think I make some very salient points. He does, too.
We talk.
Then, I see a car. White, flashing lights...out of the corner of my eye. It's slowly approaching us.
Fuck. Cop.
I know what it is immediately. Yan, my friend settles back into his seat without a care in the world.
"I think they got us." I say.
'What?" He mumbles.
Flashing lights. BOOWOOP. BOOWOOP.
Paranoia.
I see a guy in blue get out. White cop. Looks like it's just one. It's morning and clear and of course my windows are rolled down. Dude stares right at me as he talks into his mike.
He's walking over. I hear the feedback from his mike.
Paranoia.
Is he calling for a fucking SWAT team?
Yan is still reclining. Not a movement from him.
"Hey officer." I say when he's close enough. Yeah. Not afraid to admit it. Scared shitless at this point. I am too high.
He comes over, looks down at me, and goes...
"What are you guys up to?"
Yan speaks. His voice comes out of nowhere.
"Smokin' that greeeeeeeen stuff. Chillin what you up to?"
I freeze.
Everything seems to go still.
I think, Well shit.
Paranoia.
I'm going to have to fight off anal rapists in jail.
Then the cop answers Yan.
"Chillin.....Smokin."
I look at him for a minute and just burst out laughing.
He smiles.
"You guys might wanna head on outta here though. You good to drive, right?"
"Yeah. Yeah." My answer was very quick.
"Aright. Get out of here. Watch it, huh."
The Cop knocks on my window and turns around and walks to his car.
I should be hired as a stuntman on Fast & Furious because the burnout I did after the Cop sat in his car was truly the stuff of legends.
We drive around for a minute in silence. I looked at Yan like..."Dude. LOL"
He looks at me and just inclines his head, like that shit works all the time.
Damn.
In the coming days, I've come to believe I imagined all of this.
Gotdamn. Afghan gooey.
