With the fire lit, I had a little bit to be thankful for. It really was a roaring fire. Warmth.

Then the situation starts to get weirder if that's even possible. Once again, under implied coercion of violence we were told to strip down to dry off quicker. They were going to make us some food.

Off one of the tweakers went and soon they returned, with some slabs of meat. I hope it was venison. Bro, he straight up just threw the meat on the wood stove. No pan or anything. He leaves and returns again, this time with some bottles of bleach which he claims was beer. It sure did smell like beer, but why in a bleach bottle, bro?

At this point, Bill is more freaked out than I am and he had an idea which I wish I thought of, he made up a lie. Boy, how dumb I felt.

Bill makes up this elaborate story about how he needs to be home TONIGHT for his nonexistent child that was sick and he actually came out here to find a special herb (bullshit) to help his nonexistent kid.

This prompted concern in one of the tweakers and that began Bill's own separate journey where he rode half naked on the back of a rusty, hardly running ATV with the aforementioned tweaker back to the vehicle. But here I am, left alone with the other tweaker.

There I sat, just in my underwear. Mostly dry by now, only some small wisps of steam remain. If anything, it was my nervous sweat evaporating.

"Hey, you dont have an issue with drugs, do you?" The tweaker asks me.

"Nope." I say. I don't actually care but also I want to be as nonchalant as possible so I'm not stabbed to death.

He proceeds to move this pile of stuff in the corner of the room and like some bad scene out of GTA 5 involving Trevor, he grabs a meth pipe, a presumably loaded shotgun, and his meth. He plops down on the dirt floor next to a rudimentary table made of milk crates and roofing panels, shotgun leaning against the shack wall.

He starts taking hit, after hit, after hit. The clouds of smoke he was exhaling were enormous. The entirety of the shack filled with this meth fog, and that stuff has a very particular smell.

Meanwhile, I'm still sat on the chair. My asshole is so puckered up in fear and anticipation that had I put some sand in my asscrack, I would've made diamonds. I am diverting all of my brain power to my ears so I can hear Bill approach in the vehicle, if he ever does.

I don't actually know how much time passed. Realistically it may have been about half an hour, maybe 45 minutes

That was the longest time of my life. That tweaker just hobbled around the shack, like a golem. Scratching and picking at his open sores, probably trying to find the bugs under his skin. He was so high he was no longer speaking english, he was speaking methamphetamine.

Eventually I heard the far away groan of an engine and soon thereafter the crumple of gravel underneath car tires, approaching quickly.

"I think my friend is back," I say, "I'm gonna go check." Tweaker didnt even really look at me when I talked, it was like he was looking at the noise I was making instead.

Not even as I creep around the open wall of the shack do I see Bill careening down the pathway he left on with the ATV, eyes very wide, and beckoning at me to start running to him. Running through the woods, even if only for a few hundred meters, really makes you appreciate shoes.
