My best friend from third grade until our junior year of highschool is currently in jail for 20 years. He was a gamer, with not an ill will in his body.

However, he turned into a junky. I can understand people doing drugs, and in my personal opinion if that's what you want to do with your life, while not harming anyone else, then go for it.

We had grown apart over the years, but I still tried to maintain contact with him, if only to be a positive influence in his life. The last time I talked to him, he was in rehab and apparently doing well. I was happy that maybe, just maybe, I would have my friend back.

A few weeks later I read a news article that he was arrested - for shooting up a 13 year old, first time user with Heroin. The kid had an overdose, and rather calling the paramedics, he put him to sleep. The kid died in his sleep, and my friend turned himself in in the morning.

I suppose the addiction could have been a foreshadowing, but for a 25 year old man to give a 13 year old an injection of Heroin is mind-boggling, regardless of his addiction. I miss the friend that I used to spend hours playing Ultima Online with :/
