"Sugar Water", by Lucy E. Lutzke Copyright © 2000 The sound draws me in. Seductively sweet. The cold soothes my soul and senses. I float in the cool air like a fish without conscience. One moment after the other is drowning me. I’m breathing the air in and out. It fills my lungs like an icy sea, filling every cell drop by drop. Suffocating me slowly while I’m turning towards the door. The desert is waiting for me. The wilderness outside gets hold of me. I’m entering a different state of existence. Outside: desert. Inside: a brain that feels like a bagel floating in sugar water. The sweetness comes creeping into the most remote parts of my brain. Sweet, sweet, sweet, no end to sweet. I see, feel, hear gaps in the air. On their edges: poisonous snakes, saturated with greed and envy. The whole universe in a cat’s mouth. A cold black star. A strawberry on a string. I smelled the malicious flowers. And their smell pierced me through and through like an evil poison. Even the most common amongst the flowers - red roses, purple pansies and very violets - turned into forceful, wicked witches. So I left the garden. Will I ever return? Not on my own. But... With delight. Comment on this writing in our Forums!! | Back to Short Stories by Adults |
