In Tangier, my typewriter in hock to buy Eukodol, a chemical derivative of codeine, many times stronger. Dihydro-oxy-codeine—finally outlawed, owing to side effect of euphoria, hits like a speedball, Kid.
Guess I used all of it up in Tangier—but it's still out there in Quevedo, Ecuador, on a dusty back shelf, covered with mildew on a South Sea island—
"Shoot it in the main line, Kid. Hits like a speedball."
Maybe up in some Swede town under the Northern Lights—Christmas story.
"Any more of that?"
"Well yes—a consignment of twenty boxes—twenty in each box. Let you have it all for, well, say $100 U.S. dollars."
"Done."
Perhaps somewhere out there—Quevedo, Ecuador, uno de puro, Peru ... on the back shelf a dusty box of ampules, Eukodol , 15 mg per ampule.
"Shoot it in the main line, Kid, hits like a speedball."

"There is an end of the world feeling in Tangiers, with it’s glut of nylon shirts, Swiss watches, Scotch and sex and opiates sold across the counter. Something sinister in complete laissez faire. And the new police chief up there on the hill accumulating dossiers. I suspect him of unspeakable fetishistic practices with his files. When the druggist sells me my daily box of Eukodol ampules he smirks like I had picked up the bait to a trap. The whole town is a trap and someday it will close. Not a snap shut but close slowly. We will see it closing, but there will be no escape, no place to go."
