Levi was beginning to feel dizzy. He stopped forcing the noxious
        plant pulp down his throat and looked in the direction of Eddie Puss.
        First to be affected by the dangerous drug, Eddie came unsteadily to
        his feet. He dimly perceived Levi and attempted to hiss and growl.
        All that issued were a bubbling whistle and a choking sob.
          “Kill you...kill...grgghh...”
          Eddie’s visual cortex failed, providing his short-circuited mind with
        multiple  images of Levi, each at a different  distance.  He  swiped at
        one of them, lost his balance, and capsized. On his back and unable
        to  right  himself,  he  continued  to  claw  at  the  air  like  a  topsy-turvy
        wind-up toy.
