5 Minute Freewrite Day 88: Stranded on the sofa like whales with a plankton's indigestion
I washed up here on the sofa, paralyzed after the immense feast. It wasn’t as if I had WANTED to stuff myself to bursting, but that’s just what happened. And now I was stranded.
The sounds of football came from the T.V., but I hadn’t even the energy left to pay attention to what was happening with the game. Instead my eyes drifted open and closed, while my mind wandered its thoughts, just as I had wandered the massive buffet of food earlier.
I was stranded on the sofa like whales with a plankton's indigestion, and there was no Green Peace coming to save me. All I could do was lie there and wait for digestion to gain the upper hand.
BURP
Ah, that felt so good. I could feel the food shifting and gurgling its way through my digestive processes. It would likely be hours before I was ready to move again, and just as likely that once I could I would head back to the buffet for seconds. After all, this was a celebration, one that featured eating as its top activity. Sure there was family and parades and thankfulness, but most of all there was food.
This was my first attempt at the 5 minute freewrite begun by @mariannewest. You can see the few rules here if you want to participate as well. I'm hoping to improve my writing in 2018, and this is one step to do just that.

Welcome to the #freewrite community! Loved your post. The image too. 😂
Thanks @ameliabartlett The image seemed appropriate, but took far longer to find than 5 minutes.
I'm planning on becoming a long-term fixture in the community. Not like a lamp or a chair-rail or anything. Maybe more like a fine porcelain vase?
Oh yes, a fine fixture. Something heirloom maybe that your grandkids will value while you're alive then hawk for Steem when you pass on 💨 🤷🏻♀️😂
Well I hope they have boundless amounts of patience. I figure I was born just early enough to catch the revolution in genetics and health care that allows humans to live forever. I plan on living for 888 years.
😂 I love it. Since I was a little one, I've been telling people, "I'm going to live to be 126." I don't even know where that number came from, it just happened. And now, THE RACE IS ON. See you in 100 years. 🤞
If you look at the tagline on my profile you'll see I'm quite into the food :D
Yeah! Also, just to mention, one of my first posts was dedicated to food too! :D
"Food brings people together." Hahah
