The questions don’t stop. The incessant babbling of a panicked boss The bone churning boredom of paint drying with the sympathetic tears that accompany a slowly dying animal. I need a drink, rather several, rather all! Maybe, for bonus points, we can throw in a crippling drug addiction that could, maybe, allow for a grasp on the slick walls of the pit. But we both know it won’t. I need to escape, to get away from this horrid existence. But I don’t dare. Yellow bellied sluggard. Thank god for cowardice, or I’d be the main course at the feast of the maggot king.

This too shall pass, I hope. Not gonna do anything stupid. Don’t get the wrong idea. Just needed to scream in silence.
