Jimmy


"Ah, man. I just ate a whole tray of giant shrimp and then took a 2 hour bath in very special salts."


Jimmy spoke as if being spoken through by a force coming from beyond the clouds. He was obviously high on something. Not a surprise. A disappointment but no surprise. Jimmy's recent lottery winnings had turned him into a pedal to the metal glutton. He was keep deep into powders, pills, buffets, rub downs, the works. Well deserved, but worrisome. Too much too soon could do anyone in. Look at all the greats taken down by treating life as if it were just a 3-D game of Candyland. Jim, Jimi, and Janice...and now Jimmy?


Let's hope not. Jimmy is my Daddy.
