"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Phazon. Morty said it's Mrityu's flesh. And it's also an abundant construction material. We can get it from the walls. I'm sure this wall here isn't just painted steel; there must be drywall panels before you get to the steel."

"But phazon is toxic internally," I protested. "And that was back before it got all energized or whatever. Who knows what this stuff will do to us, now that its power has been cranked up? And remember, this is what's causing the mesothelioma!"

"True, we'll get infected with mesothelioma faster, but we don't have much time left anyway. And think about it. We know that you can get high on this stuff under normal conditions. But now that it's been fully activated, I'm betting it will give us a high better than ecstasy ever could. Finally, it'll piss off Mrityu. Whaddaya say?"

I didn't care much about getting high, but pissing off Mrityu sounded like the best thing I could do right now. "OK," I said, "I'm in."

Tuck kicked the wall, and sure enough, while his foot hit steel, there was drywall in front of it. And the joint compound definitely contained what we were looking for. While it was stale and crusty on the outside, we broke it open to find pure fresh phazon inside. We each took a handful of the shiny blue goo, which squiggled in our hands. Did it know what we were going to do?

"So then, how do we get it into our bodies?" I asked.

"I'm thinking we just eat it," Tuck suggested.

"My mother would be so disappointed in me," I said.

"No," Tuck countered, "she'd approve of it if she were here and she understood. Ready? On 3?"

I nodded and started the count, omitting the zero. "1...2...3!"

We both popped a bit in our mouths. I had no idea what to expect.

Tuck asked, "So, how does the body and blood of the Antichrist taste?"

"Minty," I replied.

"Wow, you're right," Tuck said. "Yeah, it's like some kind of warm mint ice cream. Definitely not for kids, though."

Then the effects hit me. All of a sudden, I couldn't see the room I was in. I couldn't hear anything either. My senses were no longer focused on the physical world, but they were being directed somewhere else. I felt like my mind had separated from my body. I had a direct connection to God.

My negative emotions were completely gone. I was no longer afraid of or concerned about anything. I had forgiven myself and all others for all past mistakes. I was filled with inner peace and divine light. I was one with the source.

Was I in the new world? I felt like I would live forever.
