dirty-mouthed abortion station
A day in the life of an oral fixation #1
Tuesday, 11 March 2008 • Storytime
7:00 am - She opens her eyes and wipes a bit of drool from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. She yawns audibly, exercising the muscles of her cheeks and jaw. She stretches a lanky, 40-year old arm and shuffles off to the shower. She urinates into the bowl for a long time before stepping into the bath. She lathers up and rinses off, letting shower water into her wide, pink mouth. She gently expels the water past her lips using her tongue. She dries herself and applies deodorant and body lotion. She moisturises her face, paying close attention to the pronounced laugh lines on either side of her mouth. She brushes her hair, pushing her long, flaxen fringe into her weathered, frowning face. She slips on a large button-down shirt and baggy trousers that camouflage her sturdy, bone frame.
7:45 am - She watches the morning news and takes a gulp of room-temperature orange juice with bits. She rips white buttered toast with strawberry jam in tiny pieces. She chews a piece slowly and takes a sip of bitter, black coffee. She chews another piece of toast and gulps more orange juice. She chews more toast pieces and her lips become smeared with jam. She sips more coffee and alternates coffee, toast and juice methodically. She licks greasy bread crumbs from her lips and wipes the corners of her mouth. She leaves sticky lip marks on the coffee cup and juice glass rims.

Lillipilli: Yes, Ms Pilli, right away!
Clarissa: Ditto, Clarissa, ditto!
AUW: How very uncouth! (Me, of course, not you.)
Z: It is, it is! Keep your knickers on, dear.
Thehappymisfit: You’re right. What happens next isn’t important. But stick around and you’ll find out anyway.

I predict that at 8.30 am she’ll be abducted by aliens.
