The life of Jerome pt. 6 THE VISION QUEST PT 3.

Jerome has to take stock of his life. He has a meager amount of money, a hobo shelter made from a stolen little caesar's sign, soiled pants, and a deep yearning to move westward.
He starts by finding a nearby walmart. Rather than just purchasing some new pants like a normal person, Jerome decides to scrimp. He grabs some new boxers and some sweatpants and heads to the bathroom. He changes clothes leaving his piss encrusted pants on the bathroom floor as some sort of horrific monument.

He strides out of the bathroom smiling. "AHHH SHIT YEAH BOI I JUS SAVED LIKE FITTEEN BUCKS!" Congrats Jerome, you are cheating the system with reckless abandon.
As he attempts to leave the store however the hidden censor tag on his newly aqcuired sweatpants sets off the alarm and he is forced to sprint from the Wal*Mart with security on his ass.

He decides he needs to get out of the midwest pronto. Now he has Walmart on his ass plus the cops are probably looking for him after that botched robbery.
Jerome uses the money he has to buy a greyhound ticket to LA. A wise choice. Jerome boards the bus and is headed west.

As the bus reaches a pit stop in Omaha, Nebraska, Jerome begins to feel a rumbling in his stomach. No he isn't hungry. This is something much worse. As the bus pulls into the station, Jerome rockets off the bus towards the nearest bathroom.

As soon as he is safely in a stall, shit is flying out of his ass with great velocity and splattering all over the porcelain bowl. Jerome is in agony for what feels like an hour. Turns out it was only about 11 minutes and Jerome's bus has left without him.

Now Jerome once again has no money and is stranded. He wanders around the parking lot before he spots an oldschool VW stoner van with a couple hippies laying on top smoking a fat blunt.

"yo man how youuu doin?" Jerome enquires. A hippy who introduces himself as Larry replies that he is "tripping fuckin balls maaan." Jerome asks Larry where they are headed and is informed that they are on their way to Arizona to score some killer peyote. After a brief conversation, it is agreed that Jerome will travel with them to Arizona. Larry, Jerome and another hippy named Thomas pile into the van and hit the road. Before they are half a block away another fat blunt is produced and is soon being passed between the new friends.
The Thomas asks Jerome if he has ever taken shrooms and Jerome replies "nah man what that do?" "It fucks your world up man!" Thomas replies. A bag of shrooms is offered and accepted.

The group of three is rocketing along the highway towards Arizona tripping balls and smoking blunt after blunt.
