mushrooms with alastor

Alastor and I forage for mushrooms. What we do is: we pick a few, clean them off, dry them, then I ask him to turn them into psychedelic mushrooms and he does. The shrooms Alastor alchemizes make me giggle nonstop. Everything becomes funny! Even when the visions pass I can't stop laughing. The world feels like a rainbow jack-in-the-box but it's my head that's gonna pop!

Last trip I was reading the bible, because the book of genesis interests me. Everything about the origin of man became really funny. The idea that all was created to be what it is was so ridiculous. "You just gotta laugh at it, baby!" Alastor said.

Reality is more absurd to me than ever these days. Every moment I'm challenged on what's real and what's not. It's liberating, it's spiritual, and it's humilatingly grotesque. "You're handling it all so well, honey." he says but I still can't stop laughing. "You have such a pretty smile, angel!" His voice distorts into frequency bubbles. The void is hyper-rainbow and gold, and I can't stop laughing at it!

All I remember is vague shapes of us becoming the words we spoke, and I laughed myself to sleep. He told me he'd always protect me. That my mind wasn't going to break. That I am so much more capable than I imagined. When I woke up, he was gone.
