"So whatever happened to this... Ganja 3X" the teenager asked the old man.
"Oh him... well he just sort of... you know faded into the background. Became
old and noble. Gave advice to nations, that sort of thing."
"Fancy that" the teenager said. "Well, that was an interesting story. Maybe
I won't kill myself."
"Try not to."
The kid laughed. The sun slid from behind a cloud. He had not laughed in years.
He had no reason to.
"I don't know why I did that" the teenager said, embarrased. The old man
said nothing. A Limousine pulled up and a young lady disembarked.
"Your Eminence..." she said. The old man got up. "Now remember laddie...
Even though life has no meaning... there's always great music in New Orleans.."
The young kid laughed again. The old man stirred. "Do you... need any money?"
"No sir," the teenager said, exhaling finally. "I think I can make it. I think
I'm going to make it."
The old man got into the Limousine... and it glided into history.
