Milk Carton

How long is too long before concern spreads like the cancerous disease that precursors worry and anxiety?

 

                A week? A day? TBD may be the answer -

 

                A close-up of her face will do. 4 inches by 4 inches, with a description that would inspire all to help me find her. Strawberry, 2%, Whole and Chocolate. As long as I get the message out.

 

                Missing people are either fou- wait, she just texted me.

 

                The answer is 4 hours and 58 minutes. -

 

                Is “sleeping all day” a valid excuse enough for me to stop chemotherapy for what the duration of time without her prescence did to me?
