One Pill is Never Enough

On November 18, 2018December 7, 2018 By Sean D. LaytonIn Human Interest, Musings6 Comments

The opioid addiction crisis is out of control. I've had a number of drug addicts or recovering addicts in my car. What's going on is just crazy.

Here is another chapter from my unfinished book tentatively titled Not Helping. It chronicles another facet of addiction. I wrote this a long time ago, but recently got it into shape. Hope you enjoy it and bring on the comments.

Who’s this Sean Layton guy?

Pretty much a walking cautionary tale. 

Born in the UK, I’ve lived most of my life under the blazing Arizona sun (i.e. sheltering in air-conditioned buildings). I’ve got an MFA in creative writing from ASU and work as a copywriter.

After years of posting on Facebook, I’m making my tales of woe and my musings available for an even larger audience to ignore (at their own peril). Typically humorous, things occasionally get serious.

Scroll down and Follow so you never miss a post. If you enjoy what you read, don’t be selfish – share!

Need something to do at work? Check out a gripping chapter from my book Not Helping.

Want to instantly up your sex appeal? Me too. But following my blog won't help. You might find it amusing though.

As a bonus, you'll be notified of new posts by email. (Don't worry, I'm a slow writer, so you won't get spammed.)

Come on. Don't make me grovel.
