Absinthe Laced Coffee

A short story that would have you thinking that maybe you drank absinthe

A twist, a turn, and maybe something else

Sometimes I have no ideas on Thursday when I start writing an article. And well here is my no idea Thursday for this week. Hopefully I don't have to do this again.

"So what will happen to me?" I say uneasily as I start to watch the principal circle in on me.

"What do you mean you?" The principal coos smiling like a hyena. "I'm not after you I'm after someone else I just need her to get out of you.

He is mental I try to think but another part of me is thinking, what does he mean her I am not a her. I have never been a her. I have always been me. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh I think you know! Don't you realize why you black out and don't remember some days. Well do you?"

"I have never blacked out what are you talking about?" But then I remember that I have blacked out before. I don't even know what day this is even what year. I've been time traveling a lot and I remember all of my past lives and sometimes get them confused. But right now I am a 17 year old card soldier, yes like those in Alice and Wonderland, so there is no way that I can be her.

"Maybe I got it wrong!" The principal says dejected

"So I can go!" I happily exclaim

"No you are not going anywhere!" The principal laughs as he turns into a giant snake. "Now get ready to die!" He hisses.

"But I don't want to die." I cry as I get into a defensive motion.

"I doesn't matter you will!" he hisses as he lunges at me and I can feel a tongue on my face. And as I open my eyes I see that it is his forked tongue and he is coiled around me.

As my life is drained I scream and cry but at the last second I smell dog. I wonder why dog that was until I open my eyes and see my dog Louie's tongue licking my face and feel my blankets wrapped around me very tight. Well I guess that's that, I think, it was only a dream. I exhale but apparently the exhale awakes me even more and throws me through a loop.

In this loop I don't have a dog and I don't have a bed and I don't have a body. Seeing that I don't have a body let's me relax because I am air and air is everywhere but doesn't have a body.

But as I blow I wake up and realize that I am a pug which is weird because why a pug. And then I realize that I have to pee which causes me to turn into a cat. So I scoot off to the litter box but before I can even get one paw inside. I change again.

This time I am night. I have a full moon and am speckled with stars.

But as a shooting star passes the moon I change again. This time I wake up in a cold sweat back in my bed back to me and as I look to my bedside table I find the suspect of what caused this crazy night. He is right next to my coffee laced with absinthe. He is no bigger than a penny. In fact, he is on a penny. No it is not Abe Lincoln. He is the alligator that is on the back of the Abe Lincoln coin that I found that is worth $10. And no it is not a very old rare coin. It is a modern coin and it is very common but maybe what is less common is that I can hear the alligator singing. And then I look back at the absinthe laced coffee which I didn’t drink any of.

Suddenly I get dizzy and I black out. When I wake up I look down and see that I am wearing a floral sundress that’s when I have to realize that I am her. So here it is sometimes I am Marty a butch gay and sometimes I am her Francesca a lipstick lesbian and realize that maybe I am flawed but hey isn’t everybody.


Congratulations you have finished the story. Do you feel like you drank absinthe since it was crazy. Well I can say for certain that at least one of us didn't drink absinthe but which one?


I mean no offense to anybody who has a condition like this or to anybody who is LGBT. I just didn't have a story and I thought that it would be fun for me to try to write a story by going off on so many tangents. Also I was completely sober while writing this.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
