Button

You feel an itch in your throat. 

You try to cough it out, but it just won’t come.

You struggle with forcing yourself to vomit. You drink lots of water, but whatever it is, it’s just stuck there. 

You reach for the carton of milk in the fridge and sneeze as you raise it up. 

Something hits the floor with a rattle. You look at the floor and see a small button with a flowery design on it.

Then you look up. On the milk carton, you notice a missing kid. Her blouse shows the same buttons.
