RELAPSE
by
J. Smith Kirkland
I
weighed this against the odds that I was doing something incredibly
stupid, and I went ahead anyway. Regimen has never been my thing. I
knew I could never complete it, but I made it all the way to day
twenty-one before my old habits took hold. Day twenty-two I started
up again. Then twenty-three and twenty-four, complete relapse. But
day 26, I decided to pick myself up and keep going. I know it's like exercise and dieting. You can't really gorge yourself and sit on
the couch for two days and then make up for it by starving yourself
and doing three times as much exercise on the third day, but here I
am. And that's why this day 25 story is a one paragraph 157 word
autobiography of the last few days; I got something written for the
Day 23 and 24 prompts, and now it's late and I am out of words. Good
night.
