I had to swallow a white pill of Tylenol ER today. It happens once in a while. The feeling of pain presses my left eyebrow, and encroaches nearby nerves as the dark tide under the dim moonlight erodes the shore. I was thinking to myself, “this pill must harm my liver as well.” But then, there was no other way that I could possibly think of, with the suppressed cognizing system of this inefficient skein of nerve cells. Though acetaminophen contains possible damage to my liver, I chose to take the small pill with symmetric structure. The half of the pill should dissolve immediately, and another half would take approximately eight hours to diffuse into the whole stomach and blood vessels. With such laud to the wonder of twenty-century chemistry, I was just numbed for a while.
