My addiction


I heard it. And my heart raced. My blood pressure went up. My anxiety level rose, ever so slowly, to greet it.

The familiar heart beat, clock ticking, beeping sound.

I think I even salivated a bit.

My addiction began two or three seasons ago. At first it was all the action. Then the intrigue and betrayal. Then the finding of the weak sniveling ones. The getting rid of the ones against THE ONE. Then the resolution, which brought sadness as well as joy. Which brought action like never before, but a deep sorrow that Jack would not be coming back next week. 

It drove me mad to think that I would have to wait for a whole year. That there would be no repeats. That Monday nights would feel so empty without the heart beat, clock ticking, beeping sound.

But now it is back and my addiction has kicked in. I feel it. I feel the need for the heart beat, clock ticking, beeping sound. I feel the need for Jack Bower. I feel the need for intrigue and action. I feel the need to find the easy, wimpy, sniveling targets that must disappear.

Its coming back. And I am all the happier for it.

Go check out the first "episode." If you are addicted, it will all rush back.
