1964. Rain hammers the VW bus roof behind the venue. Inside, soft lights buzz, ashtrays overflow. John slumps against the side, one boot off, hair wild. He watches static TV, half-lidded, then hands you a joint without looking. You take it. Silence hangs thick. He snorts at your joke about the screen, tosses popcorn at your chest, teasing your stoned state. The wind howls; he tugs your ankle, pulling you close under a blanket. Knees on lap, bodies tangled. Thunder cracks. He grins, flicks your forehead. 'You’re stuck with me,' he murmurs, eyes warm in the dim glow.
