Yeah I agree, I love it and the way you wrote it couldn't have been any better. Since a lot of these characters wrote themselves... if you happen to have anymore write themselves, please share. But if this is truly the end, I would definitely be interested in another thread of yours.
Awesome stuff man

This definitely won't be the last bit of creative writing I do on the Shroomery.
As for what's next, I don't yet know. I've got some ideas but inspiration comes in waves, so there's no telling when it will surface.

It could always go from the 12 people you meet on the couch to the ?? people you meet in the room if you want to continue
(hint hint: Itd be awesome if you continued it or took this idea to a more story-based narrative)

I was thinking about this the other day, a good extension would possibly be writing about the house that this couch resides in. You know, your buddies' place from back when you were a teenager. The house where you had bonfire, threw parties, and experimented with different drugs for the first time in a comfortable, safe setting. The place where people come and go as they please and all kinds of debauchery took place. Just an idea

Sweet thread MM. I've definitely met Candice. You ever think about writing a book. I think this thread could make a bad ass comic book too. I've seen this thread around, but never read it. I'm glad I did today. I resonate most with The Geek.

That's a solid idea, I'll give it some thought. @4-HO Yes I'd love to write a book, eventually I will... Have a few ideas, need to start setting aside more time for writing.

Prologue I think sound pollution drives me mad. Scratch that - I know damn well it does.
The honks, tire screeches, motorcycle combustion, barks-whoops-shouts from the lower class, screams of children who, with young ears, merely tumble about in the high tide of a restless city. A visibly homeless man shouts "AY SIR!" to the closest Rolex-donning suit: the sound of poor and rich colliding. Every day, like clockwork, the city's cries pollute my thoughts. Yes chief, I know you're trying to get somewhere fast, but did you need to crank that siren so loud? Why can't it produce something less awful? Perhaps have it echo some Lou Reed instead, then we'd be in business! Until then get off our roads and out of my ears. We pay for those speakers on your cute little jet-black hog, and we can just as easily stop.
This societal excrement collects and compounds in my head. There it breeds, gnawing at each and every synapse - Sonic cancer. Left unchecked this affliction will leave me a husk of the man I was when I arrived, like the state street vagrants I pass daily. The city is no place for a mountain man, or a man who isn't mad to begin with. You bet your ass that by the time I attain means to live out an honest life in silent nowhere i'll already be halfway gone.
I wrote this today. It's about the constant noise bombardment in the city I reside. Being that this is where ive called home for the duration of my 12PYMOTC journey, I found it fitting to share. Sadly it does not pertain much to drug culture.

Just read thru all of these again since I saw the thread was bumped. Really good stuff, you can fuckin' write MM, far better than myself anyway. Found a lot of these to be very relatable.

I'm so glad that I wandered into this thread. I couldn't agree more with the sounds of the city. That's why I reside in a small mountain town.

Still my favorite thread on the Shroomery. In super happy that you are clean MM. You are one of my favorite posters to be honest. I do hope you still write while sober (although I know the difficulty in doing so when drugs are a muse) If you aren't writing, that's okay too. Love you MM for this memorable series of writings that I'm sure we have all loved and lived.

Thanks so much man. God you made my day to read that just now. Im glad you consider this as good of a piece as I hoped it would be and while its nowhere near the THUMBPRINT thread I think it has its place amongst the Shroomery's best threads.
I still write! Im working on publishing a poetry compilation book with my friend that captures the coming of age into manhood in a city that insists on bringing everyone down. We're shooting for 50 poems. We have about 100 to choose from. We're in the process of critique, so we each pick 3 of the others poems and discuss the feeling it evokes and how to make it more poignant. We're like half way through the critique phase. Then comes some prologue writing, amd discussions with a publisher.
There are good things ahead my friend Thanks for the love, this thread was a springboard into my writing as a career-hobby

I might run with this idea and see how it plays.
I am considering writing a script for a pilot and reworking it until I feel comfortable pitching it. There's lots to do though.
I know this thread is old but I sometimes revisit it for nostalgia and I hope it resonates in you all as well. I received so much love throughout this adventure and I just wanted to express my gratitude again.

Maybe I missed it, but none of the twelve people on the couch play instruments or are pursuing a potential career in music! I'm the guy who has a good professional job, but is secretly going for the gold in music success and loves to party. I tried having my friend play my new EDM song at his show this past weekend, but he was too slow in setting up his equipment and his timeslot was over before we knew it and he didn't have time to play my track. I had it on USB and everything ready, even sent the track through RekordBox. Maybe next time...
