The bottle of carbonated water opened with a sharp, short
hiss. The condensation on the bottle was chilly, as cold as the water that
poured out of the bottle after he brought it to his lips. The water flowed over
his tongue, leaving cool relief as it went down his throat. Rehydrated, the
inside of his mouth felt dry by comparison. He pursed reflexively, trying to
spread the remnants of the water around his cheeks before taking another sip.
This sip he swished around his mouth, closing his eyes in
relief. The bubbles left a harsh aftertaste in his mouth.
