Episode 23: Yeast Infection

January 31, 2020Fictionthe-daily-drabble

Yeast Infection He had an infection in his small intestine, where he didn’t feel it, where he didn’t notice it, where the yeast thrived in darkness.

He was a sleepy, easy-going, uncoordinated guy. He was a goofy friend, a terrible driver, a guy who slept eleven hours each night. His infection got him promoted, endeared him to his colleagues and family. And eventually, silently shut down his liver and his heart.
