INFINITE HESH #3

In his latest INFINITE HESH, Thomas J Gamble recounts an experience with a friend suffering the perils of opioid addiction. 


Text: When my friend overdosed on the oxycontin he got prescribed after he got hurt at work, I had to carry him down the stairs while we waited for the ambulance but his pants were falling off which made it awkward and he kept alternating between vomiting on me and calling me gay. The silver lining I guess was it was legal so he didn't get charges but he later switched to heroin cause it was cheaper. (He's clean now and just does kratom)
