Many years ago, I lived in Sydney for several months. I shared a flat with my good friend Emma, and four young British lads. Time passed by well enough; we all worked, we saved our money, and we got pissed and stoned every weekend.
One Friday night, by way of a change, three of the lads and I dropped tabs of acid. It was a fine dose, and we all came up quite fiercely. By midnight we were full on tripping and our ground floor apartment could no longer contain us. We ran down to the end of the street where a park overlooked the harbour, and as usual on acid everything seemed more than a little wonky.
Two men of around our age were wandering around the park together, and the four of us made believe they were undercover cops who were following us. However, this didn’t stop us running around in circles like crazed children.
After a while, we ran up the street back towards home where we found a girl who seemed to be in a similar state to ourselves. It turned out, however, that she was either drunk or upset, and us four lads sailing around her, gibbering wildly, freaked her out mightily. She ran away.
Within seconds she was forgotten, and back to the park we went. The park felt safe – all green and full of flowers and grass. Now we walked instead of running, and calmed down somewhat, then we sat down for a moment and smoked a joint – just to take the edge off.
Deciding to head home for a drink, we trooped along a narrow pathway between some shrubs, and our merriment was disturbed by some rustling in the bushes nearby. A couple of paces forward and off to our left, an opening in the greenery offered us a shocking sight.
The two men who had been ‘following’ us, had actually been keeping an eye on us because they were looking for a quiet place in the park where they could get down to what was to become the most memorable vision of our night. There was absolutely nothing left to the imagination in what we saw; two grown men, partially dressed, one fucking the other in the bushes.
Everyone stopped dead still; all our eyes met; then followed a brief moment of silence before the four of us took off for all we were worth. Out of the park and up the street, screaming all the way home.
