“And she was the consummate teacher.
Worse, though, I soon became the consummate student, ambushed by the Eskaalim.
Every minute I practised the arts it grew fat and bloated and I was powerless to fight the pleasure in the way I had fought the violence.
The visions started again and in a matter of days I became lost. Concerned only with prolonging the euphoria.
She taught me to prepare blends, crudely but effectively. I learned how and where and when to administer them and she’d let me overdose ...so I knew the side effects.
‘You recover so quickly,’ she marvelled.
But Glorious was wrong. I wasn’t recovering. I was deeply hooked and reaping the consequences. The parasite that I’d struggled so hard to control was shaking free again, feeding off the sex just as it fed off the violence - adaptable and resilient.
I might have resisted the shape-change before, but it was coming for me this time. Gaining ground every time I used the dizzies.
And yet I couldn’t stop.
The chemical addiction was worse than anything I’d ever tried - worse than Lark and NS.MoreLess
