Why I stopped eating shrooms.
My name is Max, and I used to use psychedelic mushrooms, or shrooms for short, till I saw something on a trip that I still can't definitively say was or wasn't really.
It was a boring Friday night, and I was stuck at home while my parents were gone for the week. I had already played and beaten the three new games my dad bought me as payment, and was working my way through COD:WII again when my friend Skyler called me and said he just re-uped on his shroom stash and that they were supposed to be really good from what his connect told him. Now, yes while I was underage I never let my liking of shrooms get in the way of my life. I was a straight A student and played baseball every year, but on the weekends I'd go fry with Skyler and play video games if I didn't have any extra work from school. I also had a girlfriend but she wasn't there for this event.
I told him I'd leave the door unlocked but that I'd have my knife on me so to knock first. We didn't live in to horrible of a neighborhood but there was at least two break-ins a year and I just always kept it on me when I was by myself cause shit happens and I'd rather be prepared for it if and when it happens. After about an hour he finally arrived with his girlfriend Arial and I instantly felt like calling Lizzy but she was away for the month for a family reunion so I just greeted them both with a hug and grabbed us all a bottle of water for after the trip. Skyler was quick to pull out the goods and with in minutes we had all eaten one and were beginning to feel the effects. The colors of the houses began to blur and swirl as my skin started feeling fuzzy enough to make me stroke my arm, but then the lights went out and I began to be filled with an unrelenting fear like nothing I had ever felt and just as it approached an unbearable point the lights snapped back on and the feeling left me, but something was off. The light were now varying shades of red that cast unsettling shadows on the walls, and as I looked at the others to see if they were seeing it to I saw only two shadow figures with two pinpricks of white for eyes that were locked looking forwards. I then turned my head to the TV in time to see a creature slowly drag its impossibly long body out of my fire place below the TV. As he stood up I was able to fully take him in, and I became more confused than scared. The man was as I said impossibly tall, but he was dressed in a finely made Italian suit Dimond cufflinks and what I'm assuming were a Rolex and Italian dress shoes polished to a shine. My fear emmediatly returned when I saw his face, a deathly pale orb with two blood red eyes, no nose, and no lips to cover his angler-fish style teeth an his hands were the same color but his fingers were tipped with claws that were as black as his suit. He looked at me and gave me the best smile he could with his toothy lips, then neatly folded his hands behind his back and casually walked over to me, stuck out his hand and in the most perfect English I've ever heard said,"Hello, My name is George, and what is your name chap?" as he extended his hand to shake. Not sure what else to do, I took his hand and introduced myself,"My name is Max. Its nice to meet you. I think, I haven't decided quite yet."
"Ah! No worries mate! You'll find out soon enough because we have work to do. But first I'm going to need you to be a mate and go grabb the biggest knife you have. Don't for its for you to use not me". Despite his appearance, he was actually a very nice whatever the hell he was and I felt like I could trust him, so I went and grabbed the biggest knife in the kitchen and came back to the living room to find George looking at the shadow people with dismay. "These nasty things need to be dealt with. Kill them", he said bluntly.
I looked at him, completely dumbfounded by his request to commit such an unspeakable act. I looked at him again and this time he looked very evil, infact his eyes had turned to a lava color and the light they gave off was damn near blinding, and though he still had the accent his voice became deep and gravely.
"How disappointing. You should run now", and then he charged with a cry of rage and his long arms reaching for me, but instead of running I yelled as loud as I could and lashed out at his face with the knife bringing the point down on his head and sinking the blade all the way in and out his chin, then pushed him away and his body landed with a thud that shook the ground. The floor fell away and I began to fall into a bottomless pit and as I fell the light began to fade and the noise muted itself completely....
I woke with a start to Skyler shaking me and smacking my cheek lightly, and when I was fully awake he said I passed out and began taking in my sleep to someone who was named George and then started screaming which was when Skyler began to try and wake me and when shaking didn't work he started smacking me and then both until I finally woke up. I was glad that our house was well isolated or someone would have called the cops.
Skyler then threw the rest away cause him and Arial both had a bad trip as well and we then swore to never do shrooms again and Ineversaw George again. But, even though it was only a bad trip, I couldn't help but notice two sets of scratches on the floor infront of the fire place, like something had clawed its way out...
