​It hits me hard. Then it pulls through me like a freight train that is stuck on its rails, but set to full throttle at its fastest speed. The pause button has been pushed. Time is slowed to an almost stop. All the energy in the world enters me through the invisible lines that are attached to every square inch of my body. For a second, I have entirely disappeared. Absorbed into everything else that is....and isn’t. This feeling can only be described as indescribable. Without experiencing it yourself, there is no possible way that one could ever even imagine its magnitude and significance. Soon time will begin again and catch up in a strange and ambiguous way. I can see around things that normally seem so benign and unimportant. A new way of thinking takes over as I try to grasp all the differences between what I’ve been told, and what I am currently actually seeing. Things that normally aren’t this clear are suddenly lit up and almost transparent. Like the answers were always just sitting there right in front of me waiting to be found. This is how I want to feel all the time. I can’t imagine dying without ever having felt this way – I now finally feel as though there was a point to living. A glimpse into the soul this deep should not be passed over. Never again will I see things the way that I used to – through a murky filtered lens. Never again will I feel hopelessly trapped inside of someone else’s great idea that I simply do not agree with or accept. Never again will I fear that there is nothing else to be found. Never again will I search for a way to fill the voids that so profoundly populate my chest. I know that in the physical sense I am sitting on the floor against Dave’s beat up brown couch, but I can’t feel it. A numbness has engulfed my body which pulsates at irregular time intervals as a reminder of its presence. A cyclone of thoughts swirl through my head like watercolors being brushed lazily onto a canvas. There is no pain in this place. No worries. No cares. Just the forever stillness of my physical self that has relaxed to the consistency of putty. This is the high. This is what we all crave and spend all of our energy constantly seeking. It has become irreplaceable. It has become everything.

Josh Liccardi is an American author who grew up in the Berkshires located in Western Massachusetts.  He was born in 1981 to a small family and grew up in a rural area 15 miles away from a small centralized city.  With not much to do he spent his time creating scenarios for himself and other neighborhood kids near him in order to pass the time outside of school.  At an early age Josh became interested in computers and started learning their ways from the inside out, which ended up turning into a career choice as he aged.  School was never of much interest, but Josh did attend some college, before dropping out and focusing solely on his first IT job.  The years went by and he bounced around between a few different companies, but still to this day is working in IT.  When not engrossed in work he was able to find time to write various things, which did get put on hold after the birth of his daughter.  Josh is able to focus more on writing now however and recently created 151 Productions with his dear friend and artist Shawn.  Through this endeavor Shawn and Josh will continue to create and publish various works such as a comic book series as well as upcoming novels that are already in process.  They are both very grateful to get their creations out into the world and hope to share their art for years to come.
