Begging for Inspiration

“This is just begging to be used in a story!!” I groaned to myself. “Why can’t I get any inspiration???”

Today, I learned something. I learned that there exists a product with no discernible addictive substance within, but supposedly gets people addicted from the first use.

It’s called carmex. Apparently it’s well known, though I’ve never heard of it. That’s probably because it’s warm down here so people don’t use lip balm as much. Either way, it’s an interesting thing.

I’m fascinated enough by this phenomenon to attempt to try it myself, even though it’s hard enough to get myself to even wear lip gloss!

Then again, maybe I shouldn’t, I don’t need any more addictions. Thankfully the ones I have now can all be solved by pressing a button.

    Carmex is like crack. Goes on so smooth and warm. And then it tingles delightfully and smells so spicy. After a few moments of comforting warmth, a cool sensation spreads over your lips like a soothing mist that protects you from the evils of chapped skin and leaves you with a luscious, soft mouth just waiting to be kissed.

    I’m Melia. I am Carmex’s slave.

    Melia says it all, though I’m not a carmex user. I tend to shy away from potentially addictive things, smoking, drinking, caffeine, and apparently carmex, too.

    I’m speechless. Terribly concerned for our nation’s youth and speechless.

    Update: Apparently one of my friends is a Carmex addict.
