a progression of heroin experiences: 1st) intrigued by it, he joined in. His pain is left behind. 2nd) he resents other people in his business, anything he has done or will do is his responsibility. He is unconcerned with the danger as he leaves his pain behind. 3) Sting. Warm. The best kind of warm. For the moment, everything else is gone. 4) Black dog is lingo for craving heroin. White picket fences are probably heroin needles then. Heroin feels like a riptide. 5) Heroin normally makes just sitting and staring at the walls pleasant. But this experience is one of paranoia. The walls are staring back. From now on no more heroin.
