Prompt: Medicine

Seneca walked stiffly to her desk and pulled the bottle from the drawer. She had really hoped to make it without painkillers today. She hated being dependent on them.

It seemed two weeks was not enough time for her old bones to recover from the accident and the surgery that followed. She supposed she shouldn't be surprised. The medic had banned her from heavy work for two months to allow her ribs time to heal.

Two months on painkillers that she couldn't mix with liquor.
Two whole months. Really.
Damn, this was going to last forever.
