Addiction and Love

Beginning a few days before Christmas, in an unnamed town in the Midwest, the main character is a full blown Meth addict, and in addition to doing addict things (getting high), he falls in love. The circumstances are sketchy at best, and the focus of his love interest probably not a fitting recipient of his affections. The instant bond of love develops fast, almost too fast to be believable.
What they do not see coming is what the reader will not either. To celebrate when one is an addict is to get higher than usual, and sometimes this behavior comes with unforeseen, and fatal consequences. This is exactly what happens to or man, his lady, and her friends. We leave the group dead or dying, with the main character narrating as he takes a fatal dose after finding his love interest seemingly overdosed. But is she dead? Is he dead. No one starts getting high in the hopes of becoming an addict and dying. But that is what happens; there are only three endings to an addicts life—jails, institutions, or death.
