"A Matter of Time" follows a day in the life of Nathan, a teenage boy who has made some bad choices in his life. This short story is more dramatic and explores the hallucinogenic drug world, based on a real-life experience.Can you imagine what would be like if you woke up in a surreal world ? Filled with pieces and fragments of your own mind, your own sub-conscious tricking you into believing what you are seeing, until you realize it's all an hallucination ? Can you imagine if you got stuck in your hallucination, without realizing it ? "A Matter of Time" is a short story written as a part of my Creative Writing class, it is not as developed as I wanted, saddly. A longer edition should be released in 2015.
