The Sweet Poison

Comfort with a nice label, and the cost you already know.

Figure
The thing that tastes good and is killing you slowly, with a nice label.
Pattern
Comfort you know the cost of.
What it protects
It works every single time.
What it costs
So does the cost.
The move
Read the label once, all the way to the bottom.
ON FILE
The label, read as far as the picture.

In each position

  1. HOW IT STARTED

    You found the thing that always works. You read the label once. You stopped at the picture.

  2. HOW IT'S GOING

    You are reaching for it again. It will work. That was never the question.

  3. HOW IT ENDS, ALLEGEDLY

    You will say you have it under control. You will say it with the spoon in your hand.

Three questions

  1. What is on the label, all the way down?
  2. What does it fix, every time?
  3. What is it costing you at the same rate?
