Dear Sugar,

You are the human blood to my vampire. An irresistible substance that causes veins to appear on the perimeter of my eyes, my teeth to transform into fangs, and my tongue to salivate. I steer my thoughts elsewhere, but just when my abnormal features recede, a cookie is served on the table and my progress is undone.

Abstaining from you is futile. Going a single day without you isn't safe either. The best I can do is reduce my contact with you. My urge to stuff you in my mouth persists, and the only way I can quench it is to consume an entire bag of you. How could anyone resist your call?

You may be the human blood to my vampire, but you're not my only requirement for survival. Human blood is all a vampire needs, but you are one of many human needs, and to consume too much of you would fatten me up. Even with so many requirements, I can only consume a certain amount until it's unhealthy. Of all the things my body can't resist, it has to be you. You are the easiest to get an unhealthy dose from.

Sincerely,
Jared
