Looking for beta's for a 6500 word short story. Here's a sample from the intro:
Erik has sewn a thousand tabs of LSD into the seam of the strap in his backpack. A sheet of Purple Ohms neatly cut into long strips of fifty-by-two and carefully wrapped in clear cellophane. He has kept fifty for the journey and has them stowed under the tight skin of his African drum. “We’re going to walk to Glasto, mate,” he announces one morning with wide eyes and a grin that threatens to crack open his face, as if he’s had the idea of the century. He’s referring to The Glastonbury Music Festival in Somerset that starts in two weeks. I gape at him and experience that free-fall sensation I often feel when Erik has that look and when I know I’m going to be talked into something stupid and dangerous.
