Poison

    There are bitter pills.  That's in part a generalization but only a chemist could explain why so many compounds that help us taste bitter.

   The most bitter pill I've ever been told to swallow is easier to explain.

   It has to do with watching the people around you change bit by bit.

   One word at a time.

   One action at a time.

   Until they're completely unrecognizable.

   If someone was aware of the process and had to endure those they knew disappearing to be replaced by strangers... they'd implode.

   People change.  Except they usually don't.  Not by being swallowed up something from within.

   I'm not using a metaphor here.  Only the title is.

   And i'm not talking about something hidden in this blog.
