(for hour 7—“normal” prompt)
That’s Not Normal
I woke him with the dreaded whisper,
“There’s someone in the livingroom.”
Having no reason to doubt me,
he leapt from dream-state to Dominant Male Protector inside of a second.
Then I whispered, to warn him,
“They’re very tall.”
Apparently, hallucinating alien-like creatures in one’s home is not supposed to be a side-effect of pain medication.
The following day, my oncologist told me, “That’s not normal.”
We both looked to my partner, “How’s your blood pressure?”
This is a very different take on the prompt. Very well done. I could picture the whole scenario. Thank you. (And thank you for saving the sea turtles!)
