At fourteen, I swiped a jug of my grandma’s
potato peel ***** then led my friends to
a forest that started up behind an old quarry
road. The forest went on forever, and we
had botanicals to sniff, so we bled into
the tree line, heading for the swamps.
I yanked the cork, THUNK, and tipped
the jug to my lips. Jim and Todd
looked on in amazement while I forced the
notorious stuff down, staggered sideways, and
watched the treetops spin like pinwheels.
“I hate my old man,” I wheezed, wiping my mouth
with the back of my hand.
Todd reached for the jug and glanced at Jim.
“So do we,” he said with a laugh.
