Once there was a man who did crack everyday. For many years he had gone on this way. For anything else he did not seem to care. Sometimes for days he would not wash his rear or bother even for a change of underwear.

In his home he did not live alone. Amid the scraps of this and that, the mounds of clothes left to long unwashed, the smelly smells of garbage kept instead of thrown out, amid this also lived a little roach. There was one roach, among the many, that really liked the man. Foe this man the little roach had a special, special plan. The man failed to notice this little roach as different from the rest of it's clan.

One night, as the man slept sound in a druggy coming down, the little roach crept close. The little roach smiled as it approached the man who would be come it's ultimate host. With a scurry, a skip, and a hop the little roach did finally reach the top of it's slumbering host. Crawling into the man's unclean pubic hair, the little roach just nestled there.

Waking up the next morning the man scratched his crotch, but his fingers did not disturb his little parasites rest. With the same had he reached for his crack pipe, and put pipe to work for his morning fix. High on Crack he would stay all day. And in the night still high on crack, he decided he needed a little late night snack. Out he went in search ladies for a quickie snatch. A few he saw working along the strip. It was from the back he found and made his pick. Back in his room he told her, "You won't be needing that.", as she pulled out her condom pack. She said, "It's gonna cost you more and I want some of that." She pointed to where his crack pipe sat. "All right!", said the man, "Just let me stick it in and jack!" He scratched his crotch briefly, sticking it in to her quickly. "Oh, Oh yes!", said the man. Oh, Oh, yes, yes!", said the little roach while sliding in and out of her with each penis dip. Neither the man nor the woman heard this as the man was thrusting so quickly and thickly inside her.

Neither the man nor the woman noticed as the roach did glide inside her riding the sperm tide the man had released inside her. That little roach did ride the sperm tide that was going to bust her egg open wide. "You jerk!", she yelled pushing the man away and out of her, "You let all your shit go inside! Give me my money plus!" She grabbed the bills and crack viles from his hands, and left him standing with his pants round his ankles in his stinky mess as she slammed the door.

Once there was a woman who did crack everyday to hide a little package that was growing inside. She did so much crack now, she had no idea which month she was at. The money she had had to snuff this growth out, she used instead to stuff her crack pipe.

When the time arrived, she passed out right on the street. She was so weak. When she got to the hospital she was laid out and numb. No name, no address, she would not give. The doctors and nurses looked at her, "What a mess!". They smelt her sweat and fear invading the air. They also knew her end was near. To much crack she had inside, much too early would her baby arrive. The woman screamed and yelled, and screamed and yelled. She to sensed her end was near. her pain increased, increased until at last her baby was released! She could see the doctor's face twist into disgusted. Then suddenly, before her eyes, her baby was thrust. She could not believe that she gave birth to this thing. This thing that looked like a living disease. She heard herself screaming, as though from far away. Then all when black before her eyes. The doctors would later tell she died of a crack induced heart attack.

The nurse cut the umbilical cord. A doctor closed the woman's eyes. The doctors looked incredulous at the wriggling, shivering thing, the nurse now held at arms length away from her face. It was made of some baby stuff but,---where their should be open baby mouth was an opening surrounded by small fleshy hooks and slipping in and out thin tongue. Where there should be fingers free, fingers had fused instead to combine into claws spiny and thin. Little feet had formed into the same hook-like shapes. Long broken shrills emitted from the mouth of the newborn thing. All over it's body did emerge, through it's skin, many dark, sharply pointing out hairs. The eyes though were baby human, and looking back and forth, and everywhere.

The nurse wrapped the baby thing gently in a blanket. She and the doctors took the newborn thing to a room away from the other newborn's place. She laid it in an incubator. The doctors joined her there and peered at the thing inside. They could not abide by this thing inside. It's life was a lie! The nurse checked the monitors and the I.V.. The baby thing in the incubator began to close it's eyes and seem to snooze. The doctors said, "We will observe it's progress." As they left the baby thing with the nurse for the night, they could not fight hoping that instead, that baby thing would be dead by tomorrow's morning light.
