Letting the creative juice flow…
…into a puddle of words.
After reading The Chaser - By John Collier and this quote by Orison Swett Marden There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow”
these words appeared…
This will work. I know it will. I’ve read all the reports on the website, the testimonials they’re called. Not one person has anything bad to say about it. I mean like Jean she took a course for a month and she feels like a new woman. Her arthritis, her migraines, her asthma have all gone. No wonder they call it a wonder drug. She even looks amazing. If I could look like that too. She looks like a model, absolutely gorgeous no one would ever think she’d been that unwell.
Johnny, wow. He looks like sex on legs, if only I was ten years younger. This medication must work. Johnny was in a car crash and spent a month in a coma and could hardly walk and took the course for a month and wow.
I’ve got to sign up. I better check my bank balance first. I’ll not tell Daniel, he wouldn’t agree with me. Why waste that sort of money would be what he’d say. Sure you’ve to accept your not well, accept your disabled. Do what all the rest of the disabled population do. You’re in that chair for life, can you not be happy . It could be worse you could be dead. Daniel’s like that. That’s the way he thinks, that’s the way lots of people think but I know different. I feel it in my bones. I can, I will I’ll prove all the doctors wrong. Even the doctors, patronizing gits, stick that disabled label on me as soon as I walk in. I’m no longer human I’m a disabled person. I’ll prove to them I know things will change.
I’ve found the cure, the answer. Another step towards being normal, another step towards independence. I’m sure it’ll be the start of something great. So now I type in my name, address. Yes, I‘ve got that. Quantity? I’ll go for a years supply. Card number. Expiry date. Press send. I’ve done it, I’m on my way, changes will happen now. Delivery within 28 days. Pity it wasn’t sooner. If I could show Daniel. That holiday Daniel talked about sending me on to that center in England doesn’t matter anymore. We don’t have the money left and it wouldn’t really suit me. I’ll want an activity break next. I’m sure this course of medication will work. I think I’ll prepare for it. This next month I’ll start, even before the wonder drug gets delivered. I’ll even email them my testimonial, email them my picture.
