Six Word Story #197

I Was Poisoned By My Neighbours

Six Word Story:

Past permanently perished. Present permanently pitiful.

About The Six Word Story:

I had a weird night yesterday. I swear this story will tie into todays six word story. Anyway, I went to sleep okay and then I woke up in the middle of the night, threw up and went back to sleep. I think I know what happened though. As you guys know, I generally eat oil free but I had a cheat day and ate some oily foods which I think my body sort of rejected lol. I had some pakoda for the South Asian people that read my blog, you guys know how irresistible those are.

So what does that have to do with todays SWS? Well, because of the interruptions in my sleep last night, i.e me vomiting my guts out, I decided to take a nap today. But I didn’t wake up refreshed, I woke up groggy and noticed I had no post for today. And so this six word story was born. I always tend to write darker stuff when I’m sleepy or haven’t slept well and that’s why this story ended up kind of depressing. But I ended up sort of liking it after all.

Did you have a good nights sleep yesterday? Do you enjoy naps or do you wake up feeling like crap and regret everything? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you and don’t forget to leave your own six word story. Or simply stop by and say hi!

    That’s a good reflection, that you write darker things when you’re tired. I noticed this about myself, too. I’m downright cranky if I haven’t slept enough. 😅 I think that’s part of the reason alcoholics are always throwing temper tantrums; well, part of the reason. They’re always tired but they also destroyed their brain chemistry. One-two punch.

    Anyway I hope you sleep well tonight and your body doesn’t explosively reject anything. 😊

      Hmm that makes sense, it probably sucks more for alcoholics since they’re both sleep deprived and sobering up.

      Thanks and luckily my body didn’t explosively reject anything (so far) 😅

    I usually adore naps and mostly wake up well. However, sometimes, especially after eating rich or oily foods, I still feel groggy and kind of yucky. I hate that! This morning, I couldn’t wake up! I finally got off my couch around 10:30 and only because Child #3 made me! I took a short nap, but did not wake feeling refreshed. Here it is, 8:34 and I am so very tired. What is wrong with me?!!!

    The past has perished and the present is pitiable. OMG, what’s left then…only the uncertain future.
    Pakodas have taken too heavy a toll! Might be you ate pakodas quite late at night. Usually, this happens when we consume such hard-digesting food before sleep.
    This SWS says it all. Lack of sleep makes the things worse and only then you can come up with such type of stories.
    Alliteration in the story is admirable, and sounds good to ears unlike the theme of the story.

      I didn’t eat them too late since I don’t eat past 9pm but I think I just ate oily food all of a sudden and my body wasn’t prepared for it lol.

    Sorry to hear that. I have experienced similar things before. If I eat oily food, my stomach won’t be able to take it. So I am very careful to eat as oil free as possible, although I can never be entirely oil free. LOL. I recently find that adding a bit of sweetener can help cut down on oil and salt. I mean just a little bit. Not too much. Or sometimes I use Sushi Vinegar while cooking since it adds vinegar, salt, and sugar and some other flavors, which help cut down on oil… Wish you have a speedy recovery.

      That’s a good idea, I think sushi vinegar has a lot of flavour so you won’t need much oil after that. Thanks, I’m pretty much okay now.
