Amazed (150)


My neck hurts, and it feels as if my legs won’t cooperate if I attempt to stand. The lights were so bright, before I was surrounded by nothing but darkness. I have no idea where I am, but I fear that it is not safe here. The noises keep coming closer. I have no idea what they are. Voices have been in my head forever, now it feels as if they are real. It all went wrong somehow. I have no idea where it when any of this ends I just hope it ends soon.


The click of the lock broke me out of my thoughts; I was amazed to see a large woman in a white uniform. “Time for your medication, we want you to get well. You want that too don’t you?”

Where am I? What are the voices? Is it all a dream or am I really in need of medication? (other than the obvious) Are delusions what I hope ends soon, or do I want to wake up from a nightmare?

The word is amazed and the limit for this post was 150 word, this post is 134 words. Clicking the link will take you to M3 and the offical rules.

For so many the delusions are comfortable and the norm. The medicine is scary when it takes your friends away...

Great flash, Laurie.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
