Over-Interest

By making only the minimum payments on your credit card, it could take 3.6 million years to pay it off, and cost you at least one arm, a kidney, countless gallons of blood plasma, and all your children's children. Sanity will be measured by how high you jump when the phone rings. Do you cry out? Do you hide under your bed? Do you smash the phone with a sledgehammer? Packs of hounds chase you through forests of red and black tape, cash vs anti-cash, trapping you in a deep burrow. You can gnaw on roots and hope they go away, but their patience is infinite, their claws found you years ago and will not let you go. So feel the warm earth and be glad you are more or less "alive".
