Friday 55

Friday Flash 55
If you want to play, write a story in 55 words and let the G-Man know you've done it.

(Here's my atypically unfunny one)

Gray-green hard cold heavy metal full skull
Traitor muscles hot red throbbing angry spasms
Raging throat ears nose

Be quiet, be still. I’ve things to do.

Earl Grey ginger lemon honey steam comfort
Clean soft warm bed cold air
Morphia mercy angel numb sleep
Forget wasted time

Drifting off I watch me laugh and run.

    Yours is much less non-funny than mine...at least you worked 'laugh' into it. I like the words--they seem to have a life and minds of their own, kind of like our bodies do when they have the nerve to disappoint our expectations of perfect health and loveliness. My first time here--enjoyed.

    Awww! I hope you're only writing of feeling ill and not actually ill. I love the transition from agony to peacefulness and the last line made me smile!
