Cocaine “Hey Stephen.”
Stephen King “Yeah, cocaine?”
Cocaine “You like musicals, right?”
Stephen King “I do now.”
Cocaine “You know how people are trying to get Carrie turned into a Broadway musical?”
Stephen King “Yeah…”
Cocaine “You should a okay and use the money.”
Stephen King “What should I buy?”
Cocaine “More cocaine.”
Stephen King “Damn good idea.”
I read this whole thing in the style of Disco Elysium
