Vortex(t)

The bed is cold
Kola has gone -

Head sawing at stomach
The Doc blanks optimistically

If he is to avoid being swept up in the vortex(t) of this cruel – champagne silly head, he must mensch certain physical and psychological states:

dehydration
irritation
possibly the beginnings of irritable bowel syndrome
obviously angst
on top of this vertigo
and fear of further out of body experience.
