How to make a cup of hot chocolate

Stand in front of the window of your kitchen refuge and prepare the following ingredients:

1. A welcoming, empty green glass.
2. A bottle of cold, fresh milk.
3. An orange and brown tin of Cadbury’s Cocoa.
4. The two large tablespoons locked in an embrace in the drawer (possibly because of your awful dishwashing skills), which have triggered your loneliness. Use them as they are; do not expend any emotion separating them.
