*When My Sister and I Played*
*~a fictitious memoir~*
-1-
Emily called it an edible. I was seventeen and desperate to seem worldly. What I knew was it was like pot but I wouldn’t have to smoke, thank God. Also it wasn’t like brownies because all it was was a gummy bear.
It tasted disgusting.
I made a face and my sister laughed. She was texting her boyfriend, who was back at college. He’d wanted to join us on speak phone. Em had wanted to use Skype or Facetime. I agreed to text updates.
I don’t remember transitioning from being normal to being high. One moment I was just high. Emily kept telling me to put on my pajamas but I thought she was taking pictures of me with her phone for some reason. What occupied my attention the most, though, was that I had been on the verge of realizing something important but I couldn’t quite remember…
And then I was naked.
