This was three hours ago and I can still taste it.

I'm staying at my grandparents place for a few weeks. One bathroom between three people, various cups and things around the sink, grandad keeps his dentures in a glass overnight. I knew this. I walk past it every day.

Last night I woke up really thirsty and went to the bathroom half asleep. There was a glass on the shelf with clear liquid in it. I picked it up and drank most of it before anything registered.

It was not water.

I dont know how to describe the taste except that it was chemical and it went straight to the back of my throat and stayed there. I spat into the sink, ran the tap, cupped water directly into my mouth for probably longer than was dignified, brushed my teeth. Went back to bed. Could not sleep. Lay there in the dark thinking about the choices that had led me to this moment.

Looked up the product this morning. Not toxic in small amounts. I actually felt relieved which tells you something about how the night was going.

I rinsed the glass and refilled it and put his dentures back before he woke up. He made me tea this morning and asked if I slept well and I said yes fine thanks and that was that.

TL;DR Woke up thirsty, grabbed what I thought was water, drank most of my grandfather's denture solution in one go, survived, he has no idea, would prefer to keep it that way.
