Absolutely fantastic. Very evocative of drug addiction, as the ritual morphs from an assist for getting through life to a crutch necessary for basic functioning. The screwup of the ritual is also very like an accidental overdose.

As always, our most fearsome enemy is not those that would kill us, but the greed/vanity/other moral failing that causes us to invite them in.
