—- wore a white robe and walked down the stairs the same way as the rest of us. there was always this brightly glowing white ball behind us. the only thing shining in the pitch dark. and I’m pretty sure his belt had a snake pendant on it.

he talked about weed a lot, with a joint in his hand, and asked me if I wanted to light it. I said, ‘yes’ he said, ‘I’ve been just like you before.’

I said, ‘thank you but you don’t have to say that?’

he said, ‘that’s what makes you the embodiment of your soul contract.’

we sat on those stairs for a while, smoking, drinking,

he said, ‘when do you think you’ll quit the habit?’
