Junky

When you stop growing you start dying. An addict never stops growing.

Doolie sick was an unnerving sight. The envelope of personil nal ity was gone, dissolved by his junk-hungry cells. Viscera and cells, galvanized into a loathsome insect-like activity, seemed the point of breaking through the surface.

As the geologist looking for oil is guided by certain outcroppings of rock, so certain signs indicate the near presence of junk.

The conversations had a nightmare flatness, talking dice spilled in the tube metal chairs, human aggregates disintegrating in cosmic inanity, random events in a dying universe where everything is exactly what it appears to be, and no other relation than juxtaposition is possible.
