Excellent! You've figured out the secret of Lost, dear ... the entire band of characters is flying on Oxy. That explains a helluva lot, actually.
This was fantastic, loved the way you wove all of them together, not just with the drug use, but the visions and confusion and tragedy. Brilliant. For a short piece, this had a lot of punch. Kudos. : )
My favorite line:
Sayid runs for a restroom, takes the small package out of his pocket; his hands shaking, he swallows three pills.
Odd choice of favorite lines, I suppose ... but to me Sayid, out of all of them, is the strongest, the least likely to fall - and this shows so wonderfully how easy it is, even for a strong person, to take that plunge. Happens in the blink of an eye, out of the blue and into the black, and there's no going back.
(as a sidenote, do we happen to be sharing a brain, or something? lol Just checking ... first we had that weird Desmond-slumping idea at almost the same time, and now I'm chuckling again because I wrote, a couple of days ago, about Dan {who else? - he's all I seem to know how to write anymore *snorts*} visiting Jack after the appendectomy and offering him a little something for the pain. Betcha can't guess what it was. ; ) )
