The sugar and confection ran down the back of my throat like pure heaven. Heaven, if you consider heaven fire and a painful constriction.

Pure, liquid wax seemed to burn my mouth and esophagus, choking me. A sticky vomitous mass exploded from my mouth onto my desk calendar in the middle of the stack of candy wrappers as I collapsed onto the floor.
