lost the plot

It doesn’t look like much of anything - just a tiny white square of paper in his cupped palm. It’s no more than a centimeter on each side

We wander again, and find our way to the Chapel of Silence.

Whatever you do when you're on acid, do not do that.

Then I leap off the edge, his breath whirring in my ears as I plummet into oblivion.

See?!

I found this refreshing; it's an acid trip that actually resembles an acid trip. Too many writers--usually those who have never used a hallucinogen in their lives--come up with bonkers stuff to go with it, like synesthesia or seeing and interacting with people and things who are not there, often believing them to be real. An actual hallucination is... different.

Now, what's not clear to me is whether or not the narrator made a literal jump (also realistic). I prefer not knowing, to be honest. It keeps the illusion going.

Don't do what - the wandering? Or going into a house of worship?

I won't spoil it by clarifying. :)

Boy, this brought back memories! You captured the spirit of tripping very well. One would almost think you had experience! ;D Amazing piece.

Good lordT, this brings back serious teenage acid trip memories, how in the holy hell did you remember all of those perfect details! Absolutely amazing writing!

This has been the best reward for randomly remembering my LJ login ;)
