The Empty Chair #20

Today being a landmark day for my freewriting journey....
Yes, this is my 20th freewrite!!!
So i have decided to do what i have never done since, namely to post directly here in the comments...My bandwidth too seems to agree today! lol

How was jack to overnight turn into a vegetarian?
The doctor said he needed to, that his vitamin count was low, and every useful part of his life was in danger, his eyes, his metabolism, his digestion, his immunity, his…okay, Jack lost count as the bespectacled doctor listed for him…
His mind was already in full-flight contemplation of the implications that came with….Double costs of buying meet and veges….
And now he had just lost his job. How would he afford all these?
Now he wished he had listened to his wife’s advice….something about cure is more expensive than prevention…she had always told him, encouraging him to eat vegetables more, like her..
Every small advice he had ever read of, about eating fruits, about a healthy lifestyle…..and that he had ignored now returned.
“Drinking will kill you,” his wife used to quarrel, “Smoking will destroy you”
“We are all dead finally” he would joke. Now it was a reality, and he wasn’t sure how he would confront it.
His mind raced through the questions until he had the door banging, and he was jerked back into consciousness…there was no doctor, just an empty chair staring at him from across the dinning table.
“Here”, his wife said, “Your food!” as she took the other chair,
Jack pushed back the plate of beef, “No hunny”, he said, “You are right. I need to start having a lot more of vegetable! Prevention is better than cure!”

I am next posting on my blog, with some improvements on the typhos...
