Mark realizes that what gets to him about Maureen is that she gives him this sickly-sweet smile and tells him it's okay, it's alright, she'll protect poor little Marky from the world, now that Roger can't.
So she and Joanne come
to spend the night with him
(visitinghoursareover,sir)
and he
can't stand it, he just can't.
He goes to get them blankets and
stops next to the bathroom.

Opening the medicine cabinet, Mark sees the Advil. Pain killer. That's what it is. Can it kill Mark's pain?
The top of the bottle is removed. Peering into it, Mark sees that these are oddly-shaped Advil. Round, like M&Ms.
Mark wonders if there ever were pink M&Ms.
He
takes two out and swallows them, followed closely by a bit of water.
It's not working and he knows he should wait. Little M&Ms,
pretty in pink.
Maybe he should eat them all.

A/N: I had a
headache last night, and the Advil I usually see are more oval-y.
They did remind me of M&Ms.
Anyway, review!
