July 2024 Drabble Challenge: In Dependence
Using prose and exactly 100 words, tell me a story about a dependency. Interpret how you will, but please use standard punctuation, spacing, grammar, and spelling. Winner gets a little prize; I will read all entries and choose a victor in August. There is no need to tag me. Let's see some creativity!
Everything runs together. Thoughts. They interject, interrupt, intercede, intersect. I begin intricately laid out mind designs…midstream…and twenty steps ahead. This steam engine barrels down the track. Carefree of obstacles or pedestrians. Caution was thrown to the wind the instant my feet hit the floor. Mind numbing quantities of all consuming thoughts crush against my skull on the inside. Rabbit holes hang on the end of every word. Post-its. Lists. To do’s. Jumbled. Out of order. Out of context. Out of time. Anxiety rises up and takes a seat on my chest. Absolved of duty to distract. Adderall silences my mind.
