I didn't even know how long it was, I just started reading and I didn't think about stopping. It was very interesting, makes me wonder about many people around me. This would make a great movie by the way. | ||

I feel truley sorry for the person who actually wrote this, I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to see poeple blown away like that. I hope whoever he is, that he's out of the game for good. It's not a nice place to be. | ||

That's exactly a sentence I expect of an ex heroin dealer writing a "tell all". If you actually think this story is real you are really new to the internet and don't read much. It's glaringly obvious a college creative writing student / etc wrote this. If you want more of these "true stories" from creative writing undergrads check out somethingawful's e/n, at least it used to be full of them. | ||

Humans are going to grind their gears on the same 5 subject matters until the end of time, never learning anything, never realizing anything, never moving past the basic. But it wont matter, because there will always be a fresh crop of new humans to pick up being miserable and spinning their wheels right where the last generation left off. So lesson learned is: if you are going to write a song, poem, story, book, or movie, just make it about heroin and youll get ten times the attention from the public. Even if the story or writing is talentless. In fact, you could probably slack off quite a bit in your skill, and just rely on controversial subject matter to bail you out. You might get like... who knows... 5 guys out there out of 10000 that see through you and call you on being a hack, but the rest of the people will call you a genius and an artist. Why waste time trying to tell a great story when you can just be like "drugs blah blah blah, murder blah blah blah, more drugs blah blah" and cash in? Edgy subject matter is a piss poor substitute for strong writing. Piss. Poor. Wow hes not trying to win the the pulitzer prize or anything, get off your high horse and stop being such a fucking douche | ||

Also if everything in the story is true, wouldn't it be possible to arrest the guy for accessory to murder using the story as evidence? Or would that not be enough to convict someone. | ||

It feels comforting to consider it as false, since it has a lot of nasty stuff going on in it. Then again, it could be a Litterature student that wrote a false story of his past as a challenge. I suspect you're dead on with that last bit; the whole "maybe I'll transfer and become an english lit major" part combined with the fairly implausible age/timeframe for the whole thing make me think this could very well be someone's response to a "write a fake background for yourself" lit class prompt. That said, it was a fun read  | ||

who would read the glorious adventures of your neigbour's cat? I would cats are awesome. I direct your attention to the Author Neil Gaiman, who wrote (amoungst other stuff) several really awesome stories about cats. There's even a comic by him, called "The Dream of a Thousand Cats" part of his reinvisioning of DC's Sandman. | ||
