This is a con of potions and spells; an ancient sorcery that’s survived into the modern world. A stranger hands you a cigarette, drops something in your drink, or blows in your face — and you wake up days later, your bank account drained and all your jewelry gone. Maybe you’ve been raped or smuggled drugs across country borders. The whole time you were blacked out, which can be days, you were awake, more awake and malleable than if you had been drunk. This curse of a drug called Devil’s Breath is said to take away your free will, and leave you at the mercy of whatever ploy your poisoner has cooked up.
