GLUTTONY

***

People are greedy, love. You give them a taste of something good, and they devour the thing in seconds—forget making it last! ... One slice of the pie is never enough. It’s seconds and thirds and on and on, and before you know it, the whole thing’s gone! They gorge themselves on it, shovelling sweetness into their mouths until their bellies bulge over their belts and they can barely move. And do you know what happens then? ...

The nausea’s first—then the bile. Then up comes the pie, all mashed up with dinner and soaking in stomach acid. A perfectly good thing, ruined. And all because of greed.
