Drew


It's not just one time.

I know because you've said that before

"It's just one drink."

"It's just one hit."

"I promise, I could quit."

It's not fine!

So wake up!

It's not just one hit, one pill, one's life

So, wake up!

This is more than one time.

What happens when you have one too many?

What happens when you commit that crime? When you knock him down in his prime?

What do I get when he doesn't wake up?
