We're a little sticky but we're not stuck. Like if you get chocolate on your fingers and try to lick it off, but there's always that little bit between your fingers you can't quite lick clean, and you're not near a sink so you can't wash your hands so your fingers stick together a little bit, but they still taste like chocolate so you still keep licking them, so they stay nice and damp and sticky and sweet, and you don't really mind even if you're licking sand or hair because hey...it's still tasty. That's where we are right now. All of us.
