After profusely apologizing to his wife in hospital after she was rushed to the serious burns unit, Dave went home, defeated.
He promised not to drink any tea while she wasn't there, but he couldn't take it any more. He searched the back of his cupboard in search of that 1 oh so important artifact. He found it. The tea strainer.
He opened his sack of tea leaves and scooped some of them into the strainer.
Pouring boiling water into the cup and the strainer made a dark green liquid form into his cup. His hands were trembling. It had been over 12 hours since he last had tea and was going into withdrawal symptoms. The moment it had finished brewing, he drunk the whole cup. He didn't have time to taste it. He just needed tea in his system.
"Maybe I do need to go to rehab." Dave thought to himself.
