But I never said jump. That was all Stephen. He was in the throes of drug-induced psychosis. That’s the real risk of psychedelics, and he took a huge trip: ‘heroic dose’ for those fluent in tripper slang. He ran down the road and banged on doors. I caught up with him and another mate went to get help. By the time I arrived, he was on the ledge. I tried to stop him, but I was too far away, and instead I had to watch him plummet, then get help and talk to the emergency response people (while also high), then talk to my Dad and his partner. It was a busy night, and he doesn’t remember any of it. - Side-note: that typing style he’s using… that’s his ‘code’ from the Myths and Legends sheet. I think… 😥
