addicted

I daydreamed about it all day.

When I had to work overtime, I sat and stared out the window and thought about it.

On the bus, I glanced at my watch again and again, counting the minutes.

I raced through the door to my apartment, ready, poured it into its perfect little glass, and drank it down.

My new addiction: children's cold medicine.

The only thing that keeps me from wanting to claw out my own throat from the pain.
