You Need More Than This by *tntrekabulator

The pills glowed. It shone so bright I wondered whether it was in fact a capsule full millions of stars, threatening to burst from the plastic cage. My fingers shook as I reached out and took the pills from the man.

“Got the money?” he asked.

I nodded and handed the hundreds my father had stuffed into my pocket. The man with the strange robotic third hand scampered away.

In the darkness of night, alone and shivering from the cold, I gripped the bottle. I popped open the lid. I knew my father would beat me to death if I took any of his pills. I wasn’t sure if it was really happening or I was starting to lose it too, but inside was a galaxy of supernovas. The sight burned my eyes.
