Heresy

[Bekah]

A couple examples from real life  because my experience with it is   
not really beyond words.

I thought I was Gretel and Tim was Hansel and we went for a walk to  
the old riverbed and I thought it was a boneyard.  (The trash turned  
into bones of some sort.)  We found our way out and went home.   That  
was a very fun time.

The other time I thought I had used a lettuce leaf for toilet paper -  
it was green TP.   (That was rather startling even in my induced  
state. Hilariously funny only after the fact.)  Then Tim turned into a  
dog and I got on a roller coaster that was called life and it was  
very, very scary.   We went for a drive with a straight person driving  
the car.   He stopped and I tried to go into a church seeking peace  
but Tim wouldn't let me.   I thought I'd end up in a nut-house for sure.

So basically I had one really great time and one very bad time and I  
haven't done it since 1971 or '72.   I never did much pot after that  
either because I'd get flash-backs from the bad time.   So I found  
some weird wine and got happy for a long time.   Sobered up in 1980.
