This reminds me a little bit of the movie, INSIDE OUT.
They way you express this is so creative!

The tricky part with crack is usually the same-- introduce while obfuscating, but not so much that when the real context becomes clear, the reader says, "Huh?"

As opposed to, "Aha!"

yes this! You almost got me as I was really taking it at face value and then as I remembered you mentioned the return of crack and was waiting for it- the "aha" was good enough to make me read it over to find the double meanings in the first part

Well done!

Thank you! I've never written it over such a prolonged time, but work is making me nuts and this is a form of creativity and stress relief all at once. It's been fun to really explore it!

Thank you! Yes, I thought the beginning would be very clear once the reader grasped the true context, so I'm glad to hear that it was.

That fine line of being truthful without revealing too much too soon is a challenge every time!
