One weakness
It pools at my ankles, enticing me to wade further. Have you ever dipped your toes into a warm bath—your legs suddenly feel heavy, and your body begs you to climb in? The aroma of bath salts and shampoo hangs heavy in the air. A bubble alights on your nose as you sink deeper, tilting your scalp against the rim of the tub, wondering whether you want to dip your whole head under. You can't remember the last time a bath felt this good.
Yet, even as your aching muscles relax, and your eyes drift shut, alarms sound in the back of your head. You're not sure you have the strength to climb out.
Sometimes I'm worse than Odysseus: I walk willingly into the siren's arms. Can you guess my vice?
