A 50 word short story......

[Spikeyjaycee]

Hi guys. My husband has always been interested in writing and has recently found this website called DeviantArt whereby you can post bits of writing. His latest venture is the 50 word short story whereby, obviously, you write a short story of only 50 words. Now, I'm up for a challenge so I had a go too. I've written a few, some good, some 'odd' as my husband would say (but thats me anyway!). I came up with this last nite and hubby said it was brilliant cos it described how I felt a weeks ago, so I thought as we're all in the same boat, I would share it with you. Hope you like it:

OBESE
The painful legs and feet
The chest pains
The breathlessness felt exerting yourself in doing the slightest thing.
The embarrassment of being the freakshow, that everyone watches, relieved it's not them.
The red face, the dizzy spells
The feeling of self-destruction
Trapped inside a body of concrete
Thats me

:cry:

Now I'm though - lol

I particularly like the bit where people look and are glad it's not them. Sums it up really.

That is so so so me... can you add the parts where you carry your own seat extender for airoplanes, check out every chair before you sit down to see if they take your weight, always have someone around to help with cutting toenails, ooooo.. the list goes on and on.... xx

Chairs were allways my nitemare to at a size 32 I used to scour pubs an restaurants to see which chair I wud fit in, I've even looked on websites before choosing where to stay in hotels to check out the restaurant seats. Thankfully my size 18-20 bum doesn't giv me that problem now but I know exactly how you feel.
