Sunday Stopper – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again
Laura leant in on Todd’s shoulder. ‘What messes with your head?’ ‘Weed, and it don’t mess with anything, if you use it right.’ ‘Drugs?’ Laura asked, her legs looped over Todd’s. ‘It ain’t quite drugs, it’s like smoking Loz, only you feel like you’re flying.’ ‘I wouldn’t mind a try,’ Laura said, willing to doContinue reading “Sunday Stopper – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”
