Those Afraid of the Light

They say the weirdest things happen when you are on acid… I was with my philosopher friend and her ambitious biochemist brother when I first took LSD. As Danny and Bugs vented their frustration at how out of touch the world had become, I realised reality really was stranger than fiction. My second acid trip was at an illegal rave by the mysterious woods near my home. I saw orbs pulsate in the sky above the Dead Tree and visitors from places I didn’t understand were welcomed into our world. And on my final trip, as I lay wrecked and paranoid, cowering inside a verge by a road, I watched in horror as the world began to end. Those Afraid of the Light is a tale of the end of the world; viewed through the eyes of a dropout and through the scientific and theological perspectives of his best friend Danny.
