Crystal was in a state of oblivion after she got her fix.  She was sitting on the floor with her back leaned up against a smelly couch but still grasping the glass pipe in her hand that rested in her lap.  Her eyes were closed and her worn face has something that looked like a smile on it.  Crystal didn't even notice that the few small fleas that had jumped onto the arm of her sweatshirt earlier had chewed a few small holes in the fabric and were continuing to hop around.<br/><strong><br/>*CRASH* </strong><br/><br/>Her relaxation was interrupted by the shattering of Leroy's window in the living room.  An enormous, hairy beast clinging to a rope had swung in feet first through the window.  She saw its sharp teeth and her sunken eyes widened in fear.  The beast pounced on Leroy who had been knocked down in a hail of glass shards from the window.  He was already cut and bleeding from the glass, a lot of it still stuck in his arms and back as the beast started gnawing and ripping at the flesh on his left side.<br/><br/>Crystal jumped up and started screaming as she ran out of the apartment still clutching the glass pipe.  She was in such a frantic hurry that her purse strap caught on the hand rail near the stairs and she tripped, tumbling and rolling down the steps.  Her frail body bounced on the stair case and she knocked her head against the wall before finally ending up on her belly at the entrance way.  Crystal groaned a little bit even more in a daze than she already was but thankfully was high enough to feel no pain.  She had lost a few sporks on her decent from the stairs but the purse still hung around her elbow and she managed to cradle the glass pipe like a baby in her arms to protect it from the fall.<br/><br/>She moved to her knees and then her feet rather quickly for a woman that had just taken a rough tumble, unaware that her head was now bleeding.  Crystal opened the wooden door and continued running out into the street screaming and flailing her arms.
