I'm Not Gonna Lie

By Scott L.

Roy: You okay?

Uber Rider: Yeah... they dee best burn unit up in here.

And I’m not gonna lie —

I was smoking weed.

Had one of those torch lighters... with the cap.

You don’t know what you don’t know... r-i-g-h-t?

Roy: Oh.

(Roy’s mind is racing — trying to wrap his head around what’s happening up in here.)

Thought #1 & #2:

Unbearable pain — my God.

Didn’t realize the cap was closed?

Struck twice before the third strike?

Uber Rider:

Blew up in my face.

Burned my hole arm.

Needed skin grafts from my butt.

It’s working out ahright now.

Lucky my face was spared somehow —

maybe God... a higher power?

I think I was spared because I’m not gonna lie.

Roy:

A miracle.

A class-A miracle.

Damn.
