The Chemist

The Chemist

When the need to remove an obstacle is great, and secrecy is of the utmost importance, one calls the Chemist.

You won’t find him in the phonebook. He has no known address. Those who have seen him are unable to provide the authorities with any details about his appearance.

The Chemist appears at your doorstep when the sky is dark, carrying his bag of wonders.

Don’t ask his name, pay the price, and recieve his parcel graciously.

Be sure to follow the instructions exactly as they are written to ensure maximum potency.

Once the door closes, don’t attempt to watch him depart from behind the curtains. He’s already gone.

When the prescription has been administered, be sure to place the wrapping in the fireplace, leaving only ash behind.

Be sure to accept all sympathies when appropriate.

There will be no need for guilt or remorse. After all, you merely follow the Chemist’s instructions to the letter.
