A Kitchen Catastrophe

Michael felt a sharp stab, almost as if someone had taken a rusty railroad spike and slammed it into his left eye. In moments, his head felt like it was split down the middle, ear to ear.

He stumbled, suddenly dizzy. His hands reached out to grab something — anything for support. For a second, he thought about calling for help. But who would hear? No one was home.

He was in the middle of the kitchen making scrambled eggs and his wife had already headed out to the gym.

Think Mike. What’s happening?

His throat worked. He could feel his tongue lying dead in his mouth. Felt the tickle of saliva as it dribbled down his chin.

Think!
