| Anti-Tourettes Malcolm entered the bathroom in deep thought. It was not every day that he was told by a doctor that he had an unpronounceable disease. It seemed that he had something known commonly as “Anti-Tourettes.” This was a condition in which the sufferer imagines the world as constantly swearing at him. Something to ponder on indeed. As he passed the shelf with his wife’s unguents, balms and unknowables, Malcolm glimpsed the word “Getashit.” His mind was distracted from its thoughts to wonder if this were some new form of laxative. He reversed and read the label again. Cetaphil it read. Word count: 100 For my own amusement Prompt: None because it happened to me. |
| Use It or Lose It As he grew older, he thought often of the adage. Knowing it was true, he fretted about the increasing rarity of his interactions with her and the dwindling of his capacity. She seemed disinterested and he was determined not to impose on her. Just as he feared, he lost it in the end. Then he found that life was easier and happier without it. Not to be subject to its constant urging and insistence was freedom indeed. She missed it, however. Now she worried about losing both her charms and his love. His frequent declarations were insufficient to convince her. Word count: 100 For no particular reason but my strange thoughts. Unprompted. |
