Six Word Story #189

I Was Poisoned By My Neighbours

Six Word Story:

Deep breath. Eyes closed. Mouth shut.

I have no idea. I genuinely have no idea what this six word story is about. Or why I decided to write it. I am assuming that I was inspired by something I read or watched. Maybe a movie I saw. I don’t know. What do you think this SWS is about? Let me know in the comments.

As I mentioned earlier, I am going to be posting drafts for most of this week because I am recovering from a nasty flu. To be honest, it’s not the worst flu I’ve ever had. But I haven’t been sick in so long it has really taken me down. I have been feeling awful for the last few days. I think yesterday was the worst. But I slept for like ten hours and now I’m feeling slightly better. I have more energy today but my throat is still hurting like a lot.

If you enjoyed this SWS don’t forget to leave your own related or unrelated SWS in the comments below because I would love to read them! Or simply stop by and say hi!

    Your story is about a young girl who is trying to escape her captors by hiding under the pier…

      Ooh very interesting. That may actually be it because I watched a horror movie a little like that and that may have inspired the six word story.

    It feels like you’re about to dive, very deep. Physically or metaphorically – I like it, very thought provoking.

        It’s a type of yoga practice. It focus on breathing. It means control of breath.

    The thing about SWS is that it is open to so many interpretations. This can be someone who’s meditating or even someone who is on survival mode. I hope you’ll feel better soon.

    First the SWS reminds me of meditation process then it also brings the nostalgia we face in this toxic society where one could ended up taking a deep breath with eyes closed and mouth shut. Kind of looking for escape from reality. six short words but can brainstorm bunch of ideas on it.

      Yeah it can work for both meditation and for an escape from society. I love that about six word stories. They can be interpreted in so many ways.
