You're The Addict



Tiny water droplets leak from the roof, the center of the room, right where you're standing, into a bucket that somebody has so strategically placed there.  What would happen if you moved?  If time stood still and you stood below the hole in the ceiling, and then it overflowed?  And without even knowing it was happening, you became submerged.  It's completely possible that you didn't even notice the leak before is consumed you, but now here you are, unable to move in fear of creating another wave of destruction.  How long had that water been leaking before now, going completely unnoticed by everyone else in the room except the one person who thought to put the bucket underneath?  No matter your inconsistent recognition of what's important and what's relevant in your life, you're probably wondering how the hell you're supposed to breathe underwater since apparently escape is not an option.  Well, there are two options.  The first, you evolve and develop gills to live in this new existence you've unknowingly created for yourself.  And the second, you die.
