Junkies

A few months ago, during break time, at the college…
One of my classmates suddenly beckoned me to look out the window towards the quiet alley below. At first it looked like three friends, a young woman and two guys, were having lunch at somebody’s doorstep. After a while, I realized that it wasn't lunch. The girl took out a black elastic band and tied her arm with it, just above the elbow. One of the guys held a spoon over a lighted candle. The girl took out a syringe from a plastic box and started filling it with the thing on the spoon. Then she casually injected herself with it. The owner of the house seemed to hear something suspicious and he went out to check. The three junkies grabbed their ‘equipments’ and ran away like spooked chickens. I’ve seen things like this on TV, but to see it live was really freaky.
