Never give a psycho instructions, that’s what we learned that day. Pinky did too- the hardest way.
Such a small, simple thing. Full of excitement from the job he said, “You have to shake it before opening.” He may have made it worse somehow. I don’t know because I was already distracted by the look on our boss’s face.
They shook Pinky very well before opening him up. He was sick so much in that concrete mixer that I was surprised there was anything else left inside to come out.
Out it flowed, though, and no one spoke up again.

Written for the Light and Shade Challenge from the written prompt, taken from a milkshake bottle: "Shake well before opening."
Love that first line, especially. :)
