reconstitution (57)in #writing • 6 years ago

Hey guys! Time for the next set of 8 random words for my writing exercise! They are:

tongue
entertain
dazzling
pizza
bewitch
low
beer
admonish

These words have been generated by this website, and I will now be following the rules as suggested over there! Here's my write-up:

Imagine -- one day waking up, and you find that you've lost your tongue. "Oh. My. GOD!" you think to yourself. The one organ in your body, which you use the most, the one thing that you have to entertain the people all around you... the stories that you dazzle other people with and now... it's all gone! You no longer have your voice. You order pizza, and as you ponder what could be done about this, you find that something feels missing. Oh wait, that's your tongue! And you have difficulty pushing your food to your chewing teeth.

"Oh my god" you think again. Not only is my speaking affected! Now your eating too is affected! You feel you must have been bewitched by an evil being. Maybe you had always been in a fairy tale, and you never knew it. Now that you consider it, you realize you haven't really been the kindest of people in life. You ignored people by the streets. You mistreated those you think are lower of you... "I can't believe this," you mutter under your breath. Why would this be happening? A fairy tale story/value is now being taught to me?? You begin to sob... . You now feel someone by your side, holding you. You turn to see your partner has returned from a trip. You want to begin to explain, and your partner goes "Shhhhhh" and passes a bottle of beer to you. You feel a little confused.

"Now have you learned your lesson?" whispers the voice of your beloved. Your eyes widen, ever so slightly, but in immense shock. "I knew you no one could admonish a proud soul such as yours. Not without a little magic." It is just as you suspected. This dear person is a practitioner of the dark arts. "But I now sense a change of heart. That is good. Now drink it up, and all will be well with you." You look into the mouth of the bottle you now hold. "All will be will with you" -- is this a potion to restore my tongue? And you begin to drink it. And you wait.
