aches and pains---[Fiction] Friday/Friday 5

pardon my disinterest

to converse. toothache

is no joke. sanitary ware

was a bloody mess after I

brushed with medicated

paste. in my mouth

rolled tongue feels akin to

fuselage of an aircraft.


this year, winter solstice

is overshadowed by pain.

  3. This is a good take on the Fiction Friday Prompt. Nicely done as usual, Gautami.

  7. I haven't visited everyone's yet, but I bet most focus on the reluctance of the character to attend the celebration at all. I like your approach, that the character wants to be there but external circumstances make it an unhappy experience.

    I'm trying to figure out how a rolled tongue feels like an airplane fuselage. :-)
