RUNNY (5-minute Freewrite)

a 5-minute Freewrite by A.E. Jackson

'Runny nose?'

His mind searched for an answer.

'No, I don't feel sick.'

'Then why is my nose dripping?'

'It is not my nose. Forehead, maybe?'

He reached up to wipe away the gathering ooze.

'What the... Why are my hands bound?'

Struggle as he might against the bonds, his wrists remained pressed together.

'Where am I?'

His head attempted to swivel. Pain raced down his back and into his bowels. He fought the inevitable release.

'So sleepy. But it is the middle of the afternoon!'

Light descended into complete darkness. And then flicked to blinding brightness again.

Above him the clouds rolled past. The sun shone down.

Then the hooded man in the dark black robe peered into the woven basket at his dying face.
