Day 4: 

[Color=red]Tammy Wagner[/color] was hurting. Her last [i]fix[/i] had been at 30,000 feet somewhere over Central California after stealing opioids from another passenger. Unfortunately, that bottle had nearly been empty and its contents were already gone. 

She'd gone through all of the little bottles of booze, too. She'd also gone through the half dozen bottles she'd gotten for sucking the cock of one of the survivors who'd squirreled away his own stash. 

Tammy had joined [color=red]Paula Riggs[/color], and [color=red]Julia Rivers[/color] the day before when the two went to the forest hunting. She'd peppered the pair with questions the entire afternoon: she'd feigned a general interest in the effort to find herbs, mushrooms, and more, but in reality Tammy was simply desperate to find something to ease her own pain. 

Julia understood the younger woman's pain.  She'd been through her own period of addiction as a teen. Discovering Homeopathy had saved Julia's life, and now she wanted her knowledge to save Tammy, too. 

As they foraged, Julia quietly pointed out some mildly narcotic mushrooms to Tammy which the young woman eagerly collected and hid away from the third woman. Julia pointed out several other plants that would be beneficial to the health of the others, with the three women filling a trio of baskets. 

Back at the camp, the three peeled, chopped, squeezed, boiled, dried, and more as appropriate. By nightfall, they were dispensing their remedies. 

And Tammy got her [i]fix[/i], too. Mushrooms were new to her and ... [i]different[/i], to say the least. But they worked, and soon she was feeling no pain.
