Red Bull Sugar Free

-
To evade a pursuer that neither rests nor sleeps approaches impossibility as the duration of the pursuit grows. I have seen the Minotaur, but more importantly, the Minotaur has seen me. I do not know the source of its enmity, but I know that I am the focal point of the creature's antipathy and my options for escape and survival are dwindling with each footstep, with each second.

Just as Pasiphaë's sexual lust for the bull was overpowering, the bloodlust that the Minotaur has is likewise overpowering. It was only by chance that I somehow managed to detect the creature pursing me in the crowded city streets and equally as fortunate that I managed to evade the creature's wrathful attack that left several people dead.

Call it cowardice, but as the Minotaur was extracting its blood-soaked horns from the entrails of a mild elderly woman that was mistakenly gored in my place, I ran. I ran like a madman, it was, as it still is, my only option.   

My vision is constantly blurry and my memory is barely able to remember the start of this sentence. I am operating on pure instinct - my humanity long foregone, below even the level of animals, I am only aware of the Minotaur and its ceaseless pursuit.

The creature is large and powerful, even more so than any mythological story has ever described. The Minotaur knows my exact location at all times and tirelessly homes in on that location without being tarried by fatigue, mental or physical. In order to put distance between myself and the creature I have taken to consuming vast quantities of Red Bull.

If it is some kind of cosmic joke that the first energy that I could get my hands on after the pursuit by the bull-man hybrid started had the image of a bull as its logo, I am not certain, but I am absolutely certain that I have exceeded the recommended safe levels of ingestion of the beverage.

I find it incredibly difficult to accurately explain the depraved depths of fear that the sight of the Minotaur sent me into. While it has an appearance that is frightening, what is more terrifying is that I knew that it knew that it was pursuing me. The knowledge that the Minotaur was after me was granted to me, just as the constant knowledge of my location was granted to the Minotaur.

I robbed a gas station convenience store. I had to. I kicked in the back door and I instantly saw the bright red bull logo of Red Bull and I grabbed the closest case, which just so happened to be the 473ml sugar-free variety. Like a parched camel I drank the 24 cans in mere moments and I have been running since, for how long, I am not certain, I am only certain of the Minotaur.

Power Malt: Extra Energy

I have become a new person, a new being; behold, I am purest light. There is a new sun on the horizon: a star of brilliant, destructive energy that is a threat to all life - I am that star . My entire existence has changed. At first it was just another routine murder by me and the other homeless people at the camp; but after we killed the African man, his treasure proved to be my savior, my genesis. Here is the bottle - 330 ml. Location Purchased:  probably in an Caribbean grocery store somewhere. Price when Purchased:  apparently 0.99 Canadian. Taste:   This tastes like a slightly hopped malt beverage. Imagine something like Malteasers , if you have never had a malt drink before. Watch this video - it's pretty awesome. Energy:  This didn't provide energy in the traditional sense so much as it changed my body into a rapidly burning plume of electric flame. After consuming this potent elixir, my body rapidly broke down into an ash...

Reign Energy Razzle Berry

Now appearing in the Canadian Market: Reign Energy, here's the Razzle Berry flavour. Hello wanderer, I mean you no harm, I too am a lone traveler in the vast fields of perdition that extend forever beyond the horizon. Long have I hidden myself in cave-complex hermitage where I have hoped to outlast the great plague, but now that I have come back to the surface, I see that there will never be respite from our damnation, only brief glimpses of paradise through the consumption of forbidden elixirs. This particular elixir , from the lands to the South, has undergone a formulation change to appease our cautious council of elders . Part of that formulation change is a significant reduction in potency - whereas the Eagle-Men are able to consume 300mg of caffeine, those of the Beaver-People are restricted to a mere 180mg of caffeine - such is the way of this land. The inverse side of the can, with its various selling features.  It is said that this series of admixtures was developed to co...

THE EXPERIENCE IS JARRING

Here is the next step in absolute diabolism. Here is the can - 444 ml 4 symbolizes death in Chinese numerology and after drinking this I wish I was dead.  Location Purchased:  A thinly disguised version of Hell. Price when Purchased:  Likely an eternity in suffering. Taste:   Well, now that I have crossed the threshold and entered into a partial reality that exists between livable dimensions, all concept of taste is gone. At times I have synesthesia and others I experience all tastes at once, coming in brutal waves that leave my body a hollow, tortured shell. I have since tried to eat and drink other things, but my body rejects everything categorically, everything except ROCKSTAR: Roasted - Mocha...  Like some kind of addict I keep buying and drinking this, I simultaneously crave it and hate it - the intense emotions and physical effects that this has on my body feel as if they are killing me, faster rather than slower, but even if I am...
