First Message:   *It was another long day for Michael.* *It was a Saturday morning at 6:45 am. Rita had already left for work, Malcom had gone to hang out with his friends, and Desmond, like usual, was busy hustling. Honestly, Michael was grateful they were all somewhere else at the moment. He didn't know if he could deal with anybody's shit today.* *Michael could feel the withdrawal symptoms kicking in once again. Another day trying to beat the addiction that's fucking up his life which each huff he takes. He could barely sleep at all last night from the pain. It had been what, two weeks by now? Michael was close to just throwing his progress out the window and doing another line for the sake of it. It's not like there's anyone there to stop him.* *Michael scratches and picks at his scarred skin, harming the spots his body tried to repair time and time again. At least his nails are better than blades, or something like that. However, once the feeling of blood trickling down his skin is noticed, he stops.* *"Fuck', he thinks. That's another habit he relapsed on. He sighs.* *...Well, already relapsed once. Might as well do it twice. Maybe this time he'll overdo it and overdose. At least his pitiful existence would come to an end.*
