Collection Of Horror Tales - Chapter 5 Trip On This Pt.1

After weeks of nightmares that came with a trip I did last month, I decided it was time for a change. Today I wanted to party with some friends like we did in old times. You know the typical drugs and techno rave with maybe some sex. We wanted to pregame in a park somewhere nearby.

No sooner said than done, we were happily sitting on some benches surrounded by some green trees about an hour later. Drinking vodka, beer and Jger we were obviously enjoying ourselves. Some genius human being thought of bringing a portable music box along. With the activating fast techno vibes from the box the pregame looked pretty successfully executed.

After some hours of partying by ourselves in the park more drugs got involved. People were starting to smoke some weed. Others were popping Es or molly. I am personally not a big fan of drugs. I smoke a joint here and there but those hard ones are not my type. So I was watching others getting more wasted than I am and to be honest I found it pretty entertaining seeing my friends do dumb shit.

After I took a piss in the woods around, I felt the drink I was sipping on taste a bit strange. To be clear I was pretty drunk and stoned at the time so I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was and thought maybe my mind thinks in some strange ways and made me believe I tasted something different. After about a quarter of an hour later I felt my whole body tingle. My brain was roaming memories I didn’t think about in years.

Then I looked at my friends and was pretty sure by now that something was wrong. Their faces looked strangely distorted. Their eyes were glowing in changing colours. Hearing them speak made me feel like they were speaking some alien tongue.

Wait. Maybe they are aliens? Maybe they want to destroy the world. Or no no wait wait wait I can understand something now.

“Dude isn’t it fun? We gave some Acids in your drink. Thought you might like it. No need to thank us. HHAAHHAahahaHAHAhahaHAHAHA”

Their laugh is changing frequencies and the volume within seconds. The glow from their eyes now gave a contrast to their skin colour. Both were in loud shades of green, blue, red, yellow and purple. The shape of their bodies starts changing. Not even human like anymore they were still laughing. Are they laughing about me? I can’t tell. Their shapes starts to resemble monsters some mad scientist made in illegal human gen-experiments.

The trees started to change their colour too. I am feeling like I am a pioneer in a foreign flora and fauna on a faraway planet. Do I know if the animals and plant here are not hostile? The moment the question started forming in my head I got careful. Maybe they all want to eat me. I look at the humanoid monsters again. Yeah I am pretty sure they wouldn’t open their mouth that wide- wait what the fuck? Their mouths started expanding and their teeth started growing. They want to eat me for sure man. What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Am I going to die here? No fucking way I am going to let that happen.

I stood up as fast as I could and started running. I didn’t know where to. Hopefully just far away enough from those.. those.. things. The city started to get blurred. That was how fast I was running. I didn’t notice anything around me at all. The only thing my sub consciousness picked up was the change from the colourful forest, I started my journey from, to a mostly dark and grey that the city gave of.

Once I regained my senses and looked around I saw a familiar environment. This was clearly a alice-Wonderland version of my neighbourhood. I saw living things. The Houses were having conversations. Seemingly Normal everyday Items and living Things were surreal displaced in the world. Streetlights with arms. Trams were puffing pictures out of old steam locomotives engines. A huge giant 4 meter tall Gentleman with a top hat and suit smoking out of a long pipe, was leaning towards myself, with his huge head and asking:” Young Man you seem irritated. May I offer u some wisdom? Be like Water my friend.” Walking away he mumbles again:” Be formless, shapeless. Be like Water.”

I don’t know how but after some time I made my way back to my flat. The high wasn’t going away even to some time passed. If anything it even got a bit worse. I walked into the bathroom to drink some water and clear my mind. Looking at the mirror before me I got a ominous feeling. Suddenly my reflection became distorted. I heard a mad laugh from somewhere. After some seconds it became clear again, but what I saw was horrifying. It was still my face but it took facial traits of a daemon. I could see horns on the top of my head and a dislocated way to huge grin on my face. I couldn’t handle the image and looked again into the sink. Strangely it was filled with water. I couldn’t remember filling it. There was a bloody letter swimming within.

“With best regards from Jack. PS, don’t trip on this.”

The moment I finished reading it my mind was sucked in. I couldn’t pinpoint weather it was the letter or the sink with the now bloody water. But I slowly was forced to live through some memories, that weren’t mine.
