A Short Short Story

 

A Drawing of Five Seconds of Her Thinking

 

Transcript:

5 seconds in her mind while we were in a church and she was in front of us and I watched her for a while before I made this up

Second One: I am alone, I am still cold, I wish I was married, I wonder if I am getting sick.

Second Two: I don’t think I am sick; it’s just allergies, I need to pay attention & eat better but lunch sounds good maybe a cheeseburger. No, a salad.

Second Three: No, maybe I will skip lunch and fast. I need to pray more so I can lose weight & be happier.  Maybe just 20 pounds.

Second Four: But I am already happy I think because I am saved and that means I am going to not go to hell.  I think I don’t chew well.

Second Five: But if I lose weight I will have to buy new clothes and I am broke.  I am going to close my eyes now just for a little while then I will fell better again maybe.
