Klaus
“He could do without. It was ten days since he had left the clinic where he had endured what he called ‘a clear-out’ and he had only flirted with H since then. No need tonight. Three fingers of whisky and a couple of Luminal would see him through. Good, better… but best? Best was far away.
Best was in the past, when they were young and the drugs were no more than naughtiness, to give them a lift. They had all played with them, Gustaf too, despite his inherent timidity, fear that he might sur...render something of himself. They called heroin “H” or “tuna”, the fish that swims in the body. Erika had turned away from it. She was always the strong one. One of her letters from a long time back ran through his memory. “Don’t take anymore – if you promise, I’ll give it up too. It’s unhealthy! It’s expensive – and you can’t afford it! It’s dangerous, a killer – don’t you realise that, my love? I embrace you from across mountains. We are too far apart from each other.”MoreLess
