A Swift Kick To the Head

I do enjoy the casual use of credit cards not only for the perks such as accumulating reward points to redeem for items or even cash but also for the promotional events held only for cardholders. The only downside is when you receive your billing statement of doom. A sudden chill goes down your spine as the envelope stares back at you. Your heart beat continues to beat fast and faster as you start to reach out to pick up the envelope but you panic and turn around quickly. You then take a deep breath and tell yourself that whatever is inside is not that bad. So you turn around and you don't know if it's your imagination but the envelope seems to move closer to you. You jump back in and with your back against the wall you cover your eyes with both hands and telling yourself that it is impossible. You slowly remove your hands from your eyes and sneak a peak but to your dismay the envelope has creeped on its own to the edge of the table. There was nothing left for you to do because you knew in your mind that you cannot escape the inevitable so you reach out to meet your demise. You slowly tear at the envelope and reach in to grab your statement. You take one last breath before you unfold what is in store for you. All sight of life has snuck out of your body as you stand there with the bill in hand lifeless like a silhouette statue. The sight was all too much to bear as you cause of death was brought to you by your credit card billing statement.
