¹Zombie dust: Mix of Halcion, a nervous-system sedative, and cocaine, a nervous-system stimulant. Crushed and stored in vial. When consumed, keeps body awake but shuts brain off.

²If Heather was visiting, which was rare because of her busy schedule, the hotel ritual was slightly different. In that case, the scenario went exactly like this: Meet Heather in lobby. Fuck. Cuddle. Talk. Ignore knocking on door. Listen to Nikki yell, “Tommy, I’ve got an eightball” through door. Ignore him. Listen to Nikki yell, “Just because she’s here doesn’t mean we can’t hang out.” Continue to ignore him. After ten more minutes of knocking and yelling, exasperatedly open door. Listen to Heather complain, “I’m only out here for one day. Why do we have to spend it with him?” Get in fight. Get pissed at Heather. Get pissed at Nikki. Get pissed at self.
