brain tells her were better.
This sudden betrayal of her
sensory inputs is new to her
and bothers her deeply. She
fills up her cup again.
Thoughts about existentialism
can be quite bothering to
those who ponder about it
however, that is something
that can be avoided.
Adrenaline seems to do this
job well. This rush offers bliss
