The Odd Ending to "This Pickle Must Change"

   Murder in the first degree, premeditated murder. "Alcohol is out to kill you." That kind of murder. That kind of murderer.
   Just short of paranoid, I felt alcohol was out to get me when I first got sober. I would meditate to block out the beast, to find peace. Meditate/Premeditated. It makes some insane senseless sense.
   Serenity, find me now.
