Acid Trip (brief story inside)

Call Sign: Kaleidoscope "I don't know, Kal. I don't think you should be taking that stuff." "I told you, it's safe. I've had no bad side effects at all. Like, ever." "None? Yeah right.

I'll see colored wavy patterns which somehow helps me mark enemy positions better. And time seems to slow down, so my reaction speed is a lot faster and I'm able to hit my targets easier.

And have you told anyone else about this?" "Nope, just you. So trust me, you gotta try it." "How long did you day it lasts?" "It depends how much you take, but a tiny amount will last only a couple hours." "A couple hours?" "Yeah." *sigh* "Fine. But just a tiny amount!" "Great! Now, just stick out your tongue..."
