Um, sickkkkkkkkk.
Nice twist into the prompt though. You made it your own & I could almost taste the rice, minus urine
-
ahh yes. The idea was that the urine has precious minerals, hidden properties, and such in it. There are some that drink cobra venom as well. As long as no cuts and such are in the pathway, the poison will not kill you. Quite interesting what humans will do to preserve their existence ... purely amazing.

Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. I think I'd rather die a few years earlier. That stuff ain't meant to go back in. Such a lovely imagine to contrast with such a nasty thought. Good luck in the contest.

Man, I'd lick your muse too, but it's way too dirty
This is amazing
