Candy Page #5

Synopsis: This story is a narration from an Australian man who falls in love with two kinds of Candy: a woman of the same name and heroin. The narrator changes from a smart-aleck to someone trying to find a vein to inject, while Candy changes from an actress, call girl, streetwalker, and then a madwoman. Starting in Sydney, the two eventually end up in Melbourne to go clean, but they fail. This leads them to turn to finding money and heroin, while other posessions and attachments become unimportant.

Jesus! It's f***in' blood!

I didn't mean to hurt you...

Jesus f***in' sh*t, alright!.

F***!

Is there any chance for some morphine?

I'm in a fair bit of pain.

I don't think you need any morphine.

I don't think you're in

much pain at all!

Oh well, it was worth a try!

Excuse me, would you mind if we um,

bought a couple of flavoured milks off you?

-Just take a couple.

-You sure?

No worries!

-Want some of this?

-Yeah!

-Have a good night!

-Thanks.

rent in arrears.

I'm here to confirm that the 3rd of

these letters is in actual fact a

Well of course it was...

Now, what I'm actually here for today...

shortfall owing on the fault

So is this it?

An honour student didn't show,

so I had an idle hour to fill.

You made that in an hour?

Well... Panadine to morphine,

in about an hour and 10!

If you get rid of the paracetamol...

...and morphine to heroin in 15 minutes.

Thankyou, you guys!
