He felt a sharp nudge in his ribs followed by a voice in a
brusque tone
“Réveille-toi!”
Inside his head the heavy metal drummer had stepped up the
beat and his head throbbed like a nightclub past the midnight hour.
An eyelid strained to open in response to the angry voices.
Where was he? He struggled into a sitting position, There was someplace he was supposed to be
today but where? A celebration happened last night. Someone was getting married
today.
Him! The geometric pattern of the
hotel roof came into view and a wave of nausea swept over him.

Phew! Made it in this week. Was moving homes last week and was internet free for five days. Oh the horrors! But the kids survived.
Also very flattered to find that one of my old FF posts was selected as
Top 14 Short Stories Blog Post of Last Month (MAY 2015) on the Baggout site. I'll take it even though the caption is incorrect and I forgot to give them an author bio ("I write" that should be enough).

I wonder if he made it in time for the wedding! Else the hangover might be the least of his worries! :D
ReplyDeleteProbably after the bail bond was posted. Thanks for reading and commenting Vinay.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteNo internet for five days? I'm not sure how I'd survive.
I think your groom to be better wake up quickly or there might be something other than a celebration. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Fortunately mobile phones these days have the computing power of a mini supercomputer. Though I killed off the data by watching a footy game. Thanks for your comments Rochelle I am glad you liked it.
DeleteSounds like he might need to go into hiding. LOL
ReplyDeleteProbably for a few years. Thanks for reading and commenting Joy.
DeleteBachelor's party got out of hand? Well done!
ReplyDeleteWay out of hand :-) Thanks for your comments Yolanda.
DeleteOh dear... wedding pictures may not be as lovely as they could be!
ReplyDeleteNot a knight in shining armour but a night plastered instead. Thanks for reading and commenting Dale.
DeleteThat sounds like the hangover of all hangovers. He better get some asprin... Great take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteProbably needs more than one asprin. Thanks for your comments GaH, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteThat must have been some bachelor party. I hope they don't post a bunch of pictures on Facebook. It might be a short marriage. :)
ReplyDeleteOops too late. The Facebook pictures have already gone viral. Thanks for reading and commenting Russell.
DeleteThat was a bad mistake. No wonder he's ill, and the worst is yet to come. Well done, Subroto. :D --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteMaybe the worst is over :-)
DeleteThanks for your comments Suzanne I am glad you liked it.
They should have held the batchelor party a few weeks before. I don't think he is going to enjoy his wedding day.
ReplyDeleteOnly if he recovers on time :-)
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting Irene.
