Halloween. for the pretty people., originally uploaded by The Searcher.

Zach was on his knees, buried in candy and cakes. He had a cupcake in his mouth and was busily trying to stuff in another one. Empty wrappers crackled underfoot, dozens or hundreds. He loved doing this. He could binge for days, yet his sculpted abdomen, his chiseled jaw, would remain maddeningly unchanged.

His money, he could throw into the wind, carelessly drain accounts on a whim. Yet always, he would find twice as much the next day, as if on his doorstep wrapped in a bow. At his most destructive, Zach would always crawl out the other side, prettier and richer. Perfection would only flourish.

Zach hungrily chewed on three candy bars at once. He chased it down with the last of a thousand dollar bottle of scotch, and laughed.
