“It's a thousand tiny impulses, building on one another. First you decide it's a good idea to check the oatmeal bin for bugs. Next you're going through all the canisters, and before you know it, you're wearing a hazmat suit and examining the frosted flakes for ground-up glass.

You lose your sunglasses, you throw up on your shirt, and two minutes later you're back on the Whizzer. Wheeee.”
