The Pills in the Bathroom

Do you tell your partner tonight?

The Pills in the Bathroom

Pain pills left from an operation help you sleep. Your doctor told you to stop weeks ago. You have hidden the last packet behind the towels because your partner would throw it away.

Do you tell your partner tonight?

Then ask

  • How many pills are left?
  • Who would you call if you could not stop?
  • Why have you kept the packet?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
