A line of thought can extend itself without end

Stu's been charged with possession of a Class-A controlled drug. I went to the Welfare Office at the Uni. and was told to go see Alan Martin, solicitor with Milton, Abelson, and Goulding.

I overindulged. That much is clear. A line of thought can extend itself without end and I became a victim of my own train of thought. The belief that I was about to die scared me shitless and I suddenly valued the normality I was striving so hard to escape above all else.

I didn’t want to lose it—I didn’t want to die.
