Diet Coke

[squirmelia]

The can looked like a shiny nuclear missile with a ringpull on the top. The gulps were viscous, as if I was swallowing mucusy brown dragon-spit. I was beginning to worry- that harmonious taste and jangle of aluminium or steel had turned into something else. Of course, I didn't even stop when later I drank even more, began to shake, and felt rather sick.
