   Summary

   An angsty short story I wrote while having another long night driven by my insomnia and boredom. I think I wrote this around like 4-5 am. Not exactly sure but I was having some intense emotions and needed to write something besides poetry in order to express my feelings. Again, I edited this poorly like my other story so try to enjoy it even if there are some small mistakes. This has a lot of references to Mad Season and the song River of Deceit, hence the title lol. I would say this fic is based during 1995 or 1996 when Layne was taking a break from Alice in Chains and working on the album Above. I'm sorry this is a really fucking depressing story, but enjoy!

   Side note - Layne has long hair in this fic just to let you know! (For those of you who need visuals like me)
