So much for crushing up that lobster in the basement, it was no use sifting the morphine out of that fucking crustacean. “Look at his eyes; he’s staring at us. Put the cuffs on his damn claws, he’s likely to cut a limb off.” The room was filled with all kinds of chemicals and equipment designed for extracting morphine. Jars of calicium hydroxide, ammonium chloride, hydrochloric acid.
It was too late for Pablo, the claw reached up and severed his arm at the shoulder. The man sat there and bled to death. As he was dying he kept screaming for a gun to shoot himself with. I took the machete off the floor and forced the lobster backwards. With one leap I knocked it into the boiling bath of water. Nothing but an orgy of hisses and pops as gas escaped it’s exoskeleton. But we have no time for boiling lobsters for their morphine, too complicated.
The lobster was a much harder game to catch than the wild man-eating papaver carnivorum. It evolved a mouth on the head of the pod. Many a skilled Asian poppy cultivator was harmed when the first of the terrifying new breed appeared in Myanmar. I suspect the DEA had a hand in the whole thing, genetically engineering the man-eating poppy and then spread them in Asian poppy fields. Just another attempt to hurt the heroin trade. Problem was the plants were like vampires, one bite from Papaver Carnivorum and you are hooked for life, or so the press would have you believe. Hard up junkys would grow the plant and sit down allowing the tiny pod to chew on a finger or toe, stinging the person with a potent injection of opium alkaloids. This would be a problem as when the plant matured it grew legs and could bite the head off an adult human.
