The lemon Juul pod and the quiet Choice

"I was walking through an ordinary place when I spotted something small on the ground. It was a Juul pod, and when I picked it up, I saw it was lemon flavored. My heart jumped. I was so excited, as if I had found a hidden treasure. I held it in my hand and turned it over, and a quiet conversation started in my head. Well, you can have this one. But then you'll have to go through all the pain and suffering of quitting all over again. I never put it to my lips. I just stood there with the pod in my palm, torn between the thrill of finding it and the memory of how hard it had been to quit. When I woke up, my hand felt empty, and I lay there for a moment, a little surprised at how real the excitement had been. Then relief settled in, along with a quiet pride that even in the dream, I had stopped to think before giving in."
