Fallout (Crank 3)

how much pain he’s put

up with the last couple

of days as soon as

the tweak is

calling out to him again?

What I need to know is

how big a

part

of Kyle the crystal is.

And I need to know

how big a part it is

of us.

I NEVER THOUGHT

That much about it before. When

you’re not around someone

twenty-four/seven, you

cherish every minute

together, no questions.

No “Why are you so

sweet-natured most of

the time, foul-tempered

the rest?” No “How much

of your emotion is fueled

by artificial means?” No

“What would we be

if you cut yourself

off from something

you’ve relied on

just to see you

through the day?”
