Hi I've reposted this after removing typo:
I took a handful and raised it to my nose. I drew back. God help me if I got this wrong!
My skin tingled and for a moment ‘Health and Safety’ rung in my ears.
How could I have not thought about my safety, put on gloves, used a spoon at least. How could I tell others, if I died no one else would know what happened to me.
Brushing at my hand. I stepped back and looked around.
Why was I so unprepared. You wait all your life to make a discovery like this and what happens?
I tapped at my pockets. As a kid my mother was always complaining about the rubbish I carried about with me and forgot to take out my pockets. And now I didn’t. God, why did I listen to my mother.
There must be something and anything. Again, I look around everything is too neat, too tidy.
Bloody Utopia. Who needs It !
Isn’t there something I could use to clean this up with!
Oh dear God… It’s too late. I’m going to die…
For Christ’s Sake, Melvin, why do you always have to make a mess. I asked for coffee not lemon tea. The bloody dust pan and brush is kept in that cupboard.
Yes, my much beloved.
