the drug whose one story is a permanently lost mind — "singing show tunes in a scary…"

The substance defined entirely by its single anecdote of catastrophe: a soldier whose mind the dose picked up and set down and forgot, found later in a locked institution belting Broadway in a dead-accurate Merman. The boys pass the story around as a warning and a thrill at once — the appeal and the terror are the same fact, a drug potent enough to carry a mind clean out of a man and lose it.
