She searched far and wide for it, the pill she desperately craved.
Like an addict, she scoured the earth till it lay trapped between her teeth,
She bit down. Nothing.
She waited. One. two. Three —
She howled.
A little tug. her mind came undone. Hands desperately reading the labelling
Trembling, she laughed at her stupidity,
In believing a little bit of mellow in her system, would silence her mind,
The tugging returned stronger, as she hunched over, the pill lay forgotten.
