FLASH FICTION! *CRACKED OUT BODY LANGUAGE*

Shaking, twisting, jiving and just plain moving is body language of Leon. The body language of many tells a story that is like no other. Leon’s body shook and ducked and swirled like it wasn’t going to stop. That’s what you call cracked out body language. Leon was from a town very small set on the east coast. He was born in this town and spent most of his life there jerking and shaking like so many on the streets of Snow hill. Most days Leon would stand around or lay on the wet, dirty, and nasty ground craving a piece of hard white rock. Walking the streets is what he did mostly, begging and jonesing for that fix until he could get one. When Leon couldn’t get his smoke on, his body would shake into a convulsion. It would shake as if it was an earth quake hitting LA. White, green, and brown bubbling vomit would come out of his mouth and his hands would rub his body as if it was on fire. His body would normally burn inside like flesh burning on the stove top. After all that’s what jonesing is right? This was normal for Leon until he got his fix. Mostly he was a loner. Can you believe it, a loner in a small town! He had other friends like Harold, Jim, and David, but their bodies shook so much that it was the end for them. Leon a man of no means in Snow Hill was separated from his family, no friends and no kids. Many women despised him or said “yuck” at the sight of him. As the days of Leon went on his body walked, shook, convulsed and laid still until he got that fix. That fix, that jonesing factor that ropes you in like hot heated sex. Leon’s jonesing was the hard white stuff. His body wouldn’t lie. It was inevitable that Leon would ever see a normal life. His life was the fix and the fix was his life. It was time for Leon’s body to talk to him about his troubles, but Leon didn’t listen. He continued to shake, and convulse like a person having a heart attack. This isn’t the end of the story, because we all know that most people like Leon stick around for quite some time. People like him keep the cracked out body language going as if they have nine lives. For Leon it will come but for now his body keeps jonesing, convulsing, and shaking like it ain’t anything.
