    Adderall Infused Nesquikby Joshua Elul

    Tired of his apathetic attitude towards lifeand his inability to understand significance

    of events, a mentally unstable amateurjournalist, with the help of a friend hefinds utterly annoying, attempts to do a

    story on Neonazis in order to be affected bysomething in reality.

    Written from his point of view, his missingdetails and conflicting narrative leaves uswith only puzzle pieces of this story. Astory capturing an incredible war in

    Americas violent underground where theconcepts of nobility and greed are

    interpreted in strikingly offensive ways.

    Chapter II

    Ebonics, Antisemitism, and Oxford

    Commas.

    I lovebananas.

    In the first chapter you may have picked upon that, but I need to reiterate that fact for

    the following story.

    I love bananas, a lot. But there are those

    times in which bananas just dont satisfy

    my cravings. In instances such as those, Ifind myself turning to a nice glass of milk

    flavored with strawberry Nesquik. Like a

    goddamn war hero. So imagine how I must

    of felt when I stumbled upon a Young

    Turks news story about how a seventeen

    year old girl died when she overdosed onadderall.

    She was taking too many classes and she

    needed a boost to keep focused and

    motivated. Thats a story we all have heard

    thousands of times, but this one wasdifferent. She needed a boost to keep

    focused and motivated, cue gasp, according

    to her parents. Thats fucking weird, yall.

    But it gets weirder. They didnt just ask adoctor to prescribe it to her or convince her

    to take it like normal God-fearing suburban

    parents would. Instead, what they did was

    they took apart the capsules and mixed

    those little orangish white pellets in with

    her favorite drink:

    Milk flavored with strawberry Nesquik.

    Now, what happens often with

    amphetamines is that they make people

    thirsty because its dehydrating. Combinethis with the American trend of not

    drinking water, at all, for some reason. I

    mean for real, people are drinking diet

    soda more often than water these days. She

    quenched her thirst with more of her

    favorite drink, which contained theamphetamine.

    Unsurprisingly, the parents sued Nestle. At

    that time, and shockingly still this very day,

    there was nothing on the Nesquik

    container saying that one should not mix itwith adderall. That is disturbing news,

    because for all I know there can be adderall

    in my strawberry Nesquik powder. There is

    no label there to stop someone from doingit to mydrink.

    Now, I cant just not drink milk flavored

    with strawberry Nesquik because Ive

    never drank water and Ill be damned if I

    start today. So each morning Im essentiallyforced to pour out all the Nesquik and

    inspect each pellet to assure that there isnt

    any adderall in it. This mandatory practice

    has cost me several hours each day.

    In other news, Jessica agreed to come alongwith me to work on my journalist novel.

    Though, she seems to be frustrated because

    every time I look at the news, I get

    paranoid about something.

    Most of the time, I still cant seem toremember why Im even here. Luckily, on

    the cover of my journal I wrote: try to

    remember stuff, you cant so you are

    embarking on an adventure with that

    annoying girl, also shes gay, I dont know

    if that matters, but she is.

    It has occurred to me that I could just read

    my journal to remember everything but

    that would involve reading over and overagain and I cant take time out of Nesquik

    inspection to do so.

    Have you fucking found

    something yet? She said, sneaking

    up behind me.No, Im still looking. I said.

    I remained on my laptop, searching the

    local news vigorously. Looking at craigslist

    ads, googling random shit, and just

    watching an obscene amount of porn andcooking shows.

    Jessica didnt seem to happy about any of

    that, and the amount of time I wasted. She

    closed my laptop and showed me a Neonazi

    flyer. I thought she was trying to startsomething, interrupting my F-Word with

    Gordon Ramsay marathon with a nazi

    poster, but she explained we can go

    undercover and follow them in their

    shenanigans.

    I dont think we should do
