Ecstasy: A Short Story

Oz used to have a problem with putting liquid ecstasy into children’s drinks. He used to work in the custodial department at a school. During the lower school lunch hour his job was to set out the milk for all the children. Every carton of milk he put out, he would put a teaspoon of liquid ecstasy into it. These were little kids, so no one would ever notice if they were acting out of the ordinary. Two months later his friend Tido went to his house.
Tido: Hey man what you been up to?
Oz: Great man, how have you been?
Tido: Pretty good, so I heard about this great party that we can go to.
Oz: Sweet man well lets check it out.
Tido: Alright, we can take my car. Since you don’t have one you loser!
Oz: It’s not my fault I don’t
have a car and take the bus every morning!
Tido: Yes it is, you shouldn’t have dropped out of school and become a janitor!
Oz: Whatever man lets go.
Tido: Ok.
So they went to the party and Oz started drinking alcoholic beverages. It was ok though because he was twenty one years of age. He had been drinking for a while, until finally he was intoxicated. Then when Oz wasn’t looking someone put a high concentration of liquid ecstasy into one of his drinks and he passed out and woke up in a hospital.
Doctor: Mr. Oz wake up.
Oz: Where am I?
Doctor: You are in a hospital.
Oz: Why am I here? What happened? How did I get here?
Doctor: Your friend Tido called an ambulance to come and get you. He said you were fine then all of a sudden he saw you pass out and lose consciousness. Someone else called and said they saw someone pour something into one of your drinks. Our studies indicated that it was liquid ecstasy.
Oz: I feel terrible I don’t want to move I just want to… Suddenly Oz was unconscious again. This time he wasn’t waking back up. Oz stayed in a coma for a month until he awoke.
Oz: Where am I?
Doctor: You have been in a coma for a month. Do you have any recollection of what happened before you went into a coma?
Oz: Yes I do remember.
Doctor: That’s good.
Oz: Can I go home.
Doctor: No!
Oz: why!?
Doctor: You know there is a young little boy next store that also went into a coma and had the same problem as you. The police looked into this and found that you worked at the same school that the little boy went to, and we have evidence that you are the perpetrator who put those drugs into those innocent children’s drinks. The Police stormed in the room, and arrested Oz on multiple counts of manslaughter. Oz was then sentenced to death.
