Asher To Ashes

one.

"Asher!" lana yelled as she ran up to asher, "What are you doing after class?"

"You mean right now?" Asher smirked. Lana rolled her eyes but nodded, " I'm on my way to grab a coffee then I'm going to test out randonautica."

"I've seen that on tiktok, isn't that the app that lead those teenagers to a body in suitcase? Something about it doesn't sit right with me." Lana replied.

"It may be weird but I think there more to it than just random quantum points, So i'm going to test my theory tonight after this test run."

"What's your theory?"

"Hello. What can I get for ya?" a barista asked as soon as asher pushed the door, it hadn't even closed yet, they were barely through it.

"Let's put a pin in it, i'll circle back to it." she said to lana, "I'll take a medium vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso." she replied to the barista getting up to the register.

"And you?" the barista looked towards lana.

"Nothing for me, I can't drink coffee at 5 p.m. I'll never sleep/"

"Very well, your total is $5.70" Asher nodded and handed her exact change.

"Okay so spill it." lana said quietly.

"Alright alright, You see this sketchbook? It's empty."

"Okay?"

"I've been researching astral projection and I music dream almost every night naturally and I think I can astral, I really think I can."

"So you're going to what, sketch what you see? Lana asked.

Here you are miss." the barista said handing asher her coffee.

"Thank you so much." she said before the girls went out the door.

"Yes that kind of what i'm going to do. But you see, the CIA just released documents from studies they did in the 80's and in these studies they would give the test subject coordinates written on a piece of paper, he would lay it next to him so that when he fell asleep and began projecting, they wanted to see if he could travel to coordinates without knowing what was there. So they would give him coordinates of top secret places they knew about but no one else did, because they were classified, and you know what? Every single time he'd come back and give an accurate description of what was actually there in current time. There's no way he could have known any of it without being there."

"So how does that tie in to you trying randonautica?"

"Speaking of," asher pulled her phone out and launched the app, " are you going to check it out with me?"

"Yeah why not. Only if you smoke a little with me after though."

"I mean okay, but I have a pre rolled joint on me, want to smoke it now?"

"Hell no, If something freaky happens I need tp be sharp."

"Alright, If you insist," asher smiled, "GPS says out point is this way." she said pointing out of town to the north.

"Okay, so how does astral projection tie into this."

"So if you really can manifest what will be at different points that it gives you at random, can you use it for good? I mean what if you manifest something sketchy with the intention of not visiting for a few hours, write it down, then when you astal project you go to that point, and what if you witnessed a crime and you could give the police anonymous tips. I mean it sounds like a real life super power."

"I don't know, sounds risky.. Wait, what'd you manifest for this point anyways?"

"Well I wanted to see if I could manifest something silly.."

"Like what?" lana said rolling her eyes.

"paraphernalia .. specifically marajuana, not heroin type shit." she replied.

"Well I can't be mad at that." she said through giggles.

They stopped as they approached a forest. Thick billowing trees, the sun was still up but producing a softer light. Beautifully intimidating.

"It says it's only like 500 feet into here.," asher said.

"Yeah but I don't know dude, we.re in oregon, there could be bears galore in there, it's thick enough we can't even see. This is how horror movies start."

Asher smirked, "ok drama queen." she started stepping through tall grass. Lana hadn't moved, "you coming scaredy cat?" she called back.

"Fine.." as she began following, "but if I die in here i'll be haunting you for the rest of eternity"

"I don't know how that would work if I died too." There was a limb that had fallen but was just sitting on top of the 5 foot grass, it was the slightest bit attached/caught in the healthy branches above. Asher pushed it out of the way and an open area without tall grass opened to her view. "Oh my god! Lana hurry up! You HAVE to see this." she shrieked while moving faster. She got out of the tall grass, tripping on the last bit, she fell into a 6 food tall marajuana plant.

Lana ran up behind her, helped asher back up to her feet. Once she looked up her mouth dropped. "What'd you manifest again?" lana asked almost star struck.

"I just manifested paraphernalia, I mean I did say it'd be nice if I found a little to smoke but that isn't what I focused on, but I can't complain.."

"It can't be a farm, It's not big enough, but there's gotta be like 20 plants!" lana said in amazement."

"Ok well I brought a gallon baggy incase I wanted to keep something I found, but we can't take to much.. I mean wwe found a spot, we don't want to step on the owner's toes to much, they probably sell it and I don't want to be murdered, so maybe we should just get like a zip or two for now.. Like one fore each of us." asher said.

"I agree. I've never been able to buy that much at a time, damn college life. Maybe that app isn't so bad.. Hell yeah."

The girls began collecting some buds, being cautious not to collect more than a little from each plant in the hopes of not tipping off the owner anyone had visited.

They began walking back the way they had come. "Perks of having b cups, but wearing c cups to stuff them in attempts to impress that cutie in studio drawing." Asher said pulling toilet paper out of her bra and stuffing the baggy of weed where it had been. "Wanna spark up my pre rolled joint on the walk back home?"

Yeah let's do it." Lanna replied smiling.

The girls smoked and giggled out of excitement of what they collected on their way back before separating to go to their own homes.
