The Sore Throat

 


The Sore Throat

 

By Craig Wilson

 

I wake up in my bed. Sadly, my throat feels really sore.

It feels like I have swallowed a huge cheese grater.

Going downstairs, I head straight for the kitchen.

Naturally, I prepare a bowl of cereal and some tea.

Every swallow is murder on my throat and I wince.

I tell myself that I won’t be going to school today.

Suddenly, I realise that I am actually way too old.

However, everything shifts and I am my adult self.

Nevertheless, my throat hurts and I don’t know why.

My thoughts are interrupted by my phone’s alarm.

Luckily, in the real world my throat is pretty fine.

 

The End

 

The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
