Pain lanced through her head as she woke. Her temples throbbed with every vengeful heartbeat. The room dipped and heaved like an ailing tugboat as she lolled onto one side. Instantly regretting the move she sharply sat up. Risking a blurry look at the shoulder she saw a ragged gash that looked to have been sewn up by a limbless manatee.
Rocking to her feet she stumbled to the mirror. Dragging an eyelid down she fished for the dislodged snake eye contact lens. Her vision clearing she noticed another smaller laceration along her jawline. This had been smushed together with fishing wire.
Wobbling to the bathroom she raised the toilet lid to find three goldfish belly up in the bowl. As they were already dead she threw up on them anyway. She had no idea why her chunder was blue. She threw up again.
Pulling off her tie-dye top her sluggish mind realised her bra was missing. Her nipples were also radiating pain. Pierced? Both of them?
She half sat, half collapsed onto the bed. A grunt came from beneath the sheets.

Rather her than me! This is why it's safer to drive and let your friends drink!

I know this is an IP, but you've made a fascinating start and I for one want to know what happened next.

Thanks for commenting Jennifer and Geoffrey.
I hadn't thought to do anymore on this but I may well do now. I'll see if I can find a plausible way of continuing. I want to avoid anything like 'The Hangover' sort of story though!
Thanks again,
Shep

It seems almost as if she's woken up in another time/dimension/body?

The 200-worder :) It's very good, and much more difficult to do than you might think, isn't it?

Thanks Andrea, it was a lot more difficult than you'd think!
Geoffrey, sorry I missed you second comment. That wasn't my intention, however that actualy gives me some great ideas for a back story for this! Thank you!

Hi shep.
"...She had no idea why her chunder was blue..."
Is she an Aussie by chance?

As late as this comment is the story is as good.

Hi ScoZen and Scratch,
I'm sorry it's taken w while to thank you, I've been off of the internet as a whole for a while.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I'll reciprocate the favour when I find my feet again!

Welcome back. This story is full of zing, a rapid pace until... you should follow up with a sequel, like they do in the tv serials..."Six hours earlier."
Try it, you can do it. Richard LP
