What the ....???

I'm scared, really really scared. I've never been so afraid in my life. I'm running and running and running and I know there's someone chasing me. And he's closing in on me. I was in this house and I was all alone, there was no one to help me. And to my horror I ran into a dead end. With a deep sense of dread in my heart, I turned around and came face to face with.... 'ZIDOVUDINE'. Yes, the word 'ZIDOVUDINE'. Big capital letters in a vivid shade of green. The letters crowd around me and this deep voice booms, "What is my function, bioavailability, half-life and adverse effects?" I stared at 'Z' in disbelief while I tried desperately to recall. Damned! I did that just today and I forgot! The fear and frustration is mounting and then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of pink. I thought it might be the Pink Lady coming to my rescue but gasp! It's 'SAQUINAVIR' in bright pink block letters. And this high pitch voice taunts me incessantly, "You mean you don't even know?" I started crying.

When I woke up, I swear not to fall asleep at my table right after a heavy supper ever again.
