The shame of it !!!

Because of alcohol and drugs, I'm often poor.
In spite of program's existing to help me with drugs and alcohol, I am often poor.

Only on the last day of the pay week though, or Sunday morning if it was an especially debauched Saturday night. I earn ok money - i just like to spend it!

So I'm at Abra Kebabra.

Quite lush Checkout Chick (closer to my age for a change, normally you would be arrested for salivating over checkout chicks - average age 16..) is being quite
friendly.

Flirtatious smiles, asks about my Eye-brow ring - did it hurt? Do i live around here?

Why yes, mention where - Second storey LOVE PAD with city skyline views

...she gazes in hushed admiration.
She has beautiful eyes

"Wow, that's different - giggle"

I magically become 1 inch tall and slink from sight...

Definitely a low point..
