Prick


“Ignore this! Just ignore this. I'll put it in the corner. There. Now, you said you're having trouble sleeping.”

“A little bit, yeah. What is that?”

“It's not mine. I'm holding it for somebody. Are you having difficulty falling asleep?”

“Sort of. What's in it?”

“Water. Mostly water. Doesn't matter. Are you experiencing restlessness?”

“Yes. Tossing and turning. Bad dreams. Why are you picking it up?”

“In a moment someone will come into this room. I'll pretend to give you an injection. Act normally. It will only be a couple seconds. They'll ask a question, I'll answer, they'll leave, and then I'll write you a prescription. Something very mild, very easy. All right?”

“Yeah, I'll give it a shot. Ow.”
