pharmaceuticals

I remember getting lost in Richmond when I was really young. I was meant to be holding on to the mother very tightly. But I guess I'd gotten distracted with something more interesting.
I remember how a man had asked me to follow him, and I did. And he'd led me into his pharmacy. He's offered me some "yellow cake" and I was happily eating it on a stool that I sat on.
I remember mom running in frantically, so relieved that I was safe.
I vaguely remember her eyes being damp, from tears I figure now.
I remember how innocent I used to be, but now look at me.

Thinking back on that instant, I can see why she's so worried about me all the time.
