Needle

Retail NEEDLE is a true story. Sometimes, I wish it wasn't. Regardless, in many ways I still can't believe it actually happened. After all, Id graduated from a prestigious university, was reared in an affluent home and knew that drugs were for losers. In fact, Im not even sure when the metamorphosis occurredwhen I made the official leap from struggling musician to struggling junkybut it was definitely before I first stuck myself with a needle and began selling liquor camouflaged in fruit juice to underage children of the rich and famous. Of course, that was merely the tip of the illicit iceberg as so much remains hidden in that shadowy world where dope dealers pose as sales associates in drug fronts disguised as clothing boutiques, and chemically dependent cabbies provide shuttle services to junkies on a quest for the perfect fix. But certainly, the veil of deception would eventually be torn away when I was banished to that awful place, that asylum for the wretched, where another horrific decision would seal my fate with the watery wreckage of an international tragedy. *Profits from NEEDLE will be used to eliminate animal cruelty and improve the lives of homeless pets.
