Foreword
Chewing his bottom lip, he closes the mirror and stares at his reflection, amber pill bottle in his fist. His shoulders hunch as he leans over the pedestal sink, and he vaguely remembers a time when his shirts actually fit him well. He'd been pretty popular, energetic, outgoing. The memories are hazy; it takes too much energy to try and focus on them.
The room spins a little, shoving his shoulders back and kicking his feet from under him.
