I couldn’t stop. Needed to consume every morsel. Seized fistfuls of food. Stuffed handfuls of red sauced rigatoni.
Saw nothing, thought nothing, just a primal need to chew, eat everything.
I couldn’t stop.
I grabbed red wine. Chugged it. Half fell down my chin. Splattered across skin and clothes.
I couldn’t stop.
A baptism of gluttony.
I crawled onto the table. The linen knotted ‘neath my knees.
The aroma.
I needed to be closer.
My salvation.
Bagels cream cheese peanut butter jelly chocolate fried chicken bacon asparagus butternut squash.
Glass shattered; utensils fled from me.
I couldn’t stop.
Having it all is euphoric.
And I had it all.
I was a god.
Until my stomach burst
