Merciless.

Gone

The clock was ticking away the time. Mercilessly.

And he was in a pretty big dilemma. His palms were sweaty and his body tensed.

There was no visible reason for him to feel this way.

 Money & comfort were at his doorstep.

But he definitely knew the solution. One that would leave him at peace, at least, for the time being.

He opened his teak furnished drawer and took out a pouch.

He unzipped it and took his ‘solution’ out.

Eyes closed, and in one quick breath, he injected the drug into his whole being.

Drug addiction kills the vibrant young minds and bodies.
Stay away from it.
Self- control is the key.
