An Accidental Overdose

She fought daily with the agony. never knew when it would strike. It affected all corners of her world waking, sleeping, laughing, and crying. Early one morn, she lost the battle. Through the night she had struggled, to rid the ache in her head. She tried them all. One here and one there, still it persisted, another, then, another. She had forgotten the total. The compounds crescendoed and released an avalanche of effects. Breathing crawled, heart decelerated and mentation retarded. Then all stopped. It was an accidental overdose. Just a girl trying to ... stop the pain.
