Mini Na No Wri Mo #1 (90/100)

Nov 01, 2007 18:36

I bravely/stupidly committed myself to mini_nanowrimo and here is my first offering. My committed word count was 100, but this one was only 90. However, i'm cutting myself a little bit of slack since i've been dyingill over the last few days.
So here, is #1:

Flu Season.
The patient lies in bed; curtains drawn, lights on low, not a sound to be heard in the vicinity. The symptoms are known by all:
“Unrelenting pain, nausea, frequent bouts of unconsciousness, inability to taste, persistent fever, the smell of infection, cracked lips, pallid skin, disorientation, and barely able to eat”
Various medications are now arranged on the dresser, and there are frequent, hushed visits by concerned relatives. Nobody knows how long this ordeal will last…
It has been coming. It has been expected. It is, now, officially, Flu Season.

Lame? Quite possibly. Kicked out in the few minutes that my head allowed itself to be vertical? Definitely!
By the way, has anyone else been having issues with LJ emailing comment notifications to them...?
