"Won't I choke and die?"

I asked once more
shaking my head
in refusal.

"It's actually super gummy
so you can chew it if you
want."

The maid reassures me.

She has another black
pill and swallow one
herself without water.

I end up taking the pill
with water, chewing
before swallowing.

The pill has a greasy
taste of licorice and
peppermint.

Yuck!

"You're so cute with that
face." The maid laughs.

So nasty.....

I whine before downing
all the glass of the
water.

Once I'm done, the maid
takes the glass away from
me,

placing it on the
lamp stand table.

In curiosity, I decide to
start with a simple
question,

"So what's your name,
ma'am?"

I sit back down on my
bed.

"My name is Cassandra..."

Cassandra?

Cassandra?

Cassandra?

That's a cute name.

Now my body feels
relaxed and the pain
is numbing away,

"Where am I,
Cassandra?"
