from 154 - The 3 AM Episode · #154
2 min
A tense story about coming home at 2:45am coming down off cocaine to find all the lights on in his friend's house, and Barb calmly letting them off the hook while name-dropping his mother.
- Tim's cover story for disappearing was always 'we were just walking around' despite being obvious drug addicts to everyone.
- People think they're fooling everyone about their mess, but they're fooling no one.
- Tim used to show up at his friend's house in different cars, disappear for days, then reappear looking crazy.
- Tim and his friend's arrival at the house was met by Barb with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, ready to call the police.
- Barb didn't ask where they'd been, just suggested Tim go home—their parents already knew something was wrong.
- Tim's mother was furious, asking if he was going to die while examining his dilated eyes.
